AAA Championships

The 1901 AAA Championships was the 1901 edition of the annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Amateur Athletic Association (AAA). It was held on Saturday 6 July 1901 at the Fartown Ground in Huddersfield, England. [1] [2]

A new event was added to the Championships when the 2 miles walk was introduced. This also resulted in the 4 miles walk reverting to the distance of 7 miles (which was held previously from 1866 until 1893).
