London preparing bid to host World Athletics Championships in 2029

LONDON is preparing a bid to bring the World Athletics Championships back to the capital in 2029, organisers have announced.
Athletic Ventures — the joint organisation between UK Athletics (UKA), the Great Run Company and London Marathon Events — has completed a feasibility study ahead of submitting a formal expression of interest to World Athletics in September.
The bid is contingent on securing £45 million in government support for delivery and, if successful, would be the first time London has hosted the event since 2017, which boasted a sold-out stadium for every session.
