1901 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).
