Add article description

The British Grand Prix, formerly known as the Birmingham Grand Prix or the Aviva Birmingham Grand Prix, is an annual athletics meeting. Since 2010 it has been a part of the Diamond League series of track and field meets.

Quick Facts Date, Location ...

In 2020 the event was due to be held at the Gateshead International Stadium but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.^[2] The event returned to Gateshead in 2021.^[3] There was a 2022 Diamond League meeting (2022 Birmingham Diamond League) held at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, though it was officially a continuation of the Anniversary Games (usually held in London) rather than a British Grand Prix event.^[4]
