WAAA Championships

The 1987 WAAA Championships sponsored by the Trustee Savings Bank, were the national track and field championships for women in the United Kingdom.[1][2]

The event was held at the Alexander Stadium, Birmingham, from 24 to 25 July 1987.[3][4]

The Championships were the last WAAA Championships because as from 1988 the AAA Championships would hold both men's and women's events.
