UK Athletics operates within the spectator sports sector, focusing on athletics development from early skill-building to elite competition. It promotes an inclusive participation model, aiming to remove barriers related to race, gender, ability, background, and culture so more people can take part and improve health and well-being. The organization runs programs and events designed to showcase the sport and help participants reach their best, including a high-performance framework that supports top-level athletes. Based in Birmingham, England, the organization employs hundreds of staff and is moving into a new era with a refreshed strategic plan developed in collaboration with the chief executives of the Home Country Athletics Federations. In early 2026, UK Athletics appointed a new chief executive, reflecting leadership changes within the organization. It has announced its participation in major events, including the 2026 World Athletics Relays.
