1997 AAA Championships

This refers to the Amateur Athletic Association not the American Automobile Association.

The 1997 AAA Championships was an outdoor track and field competition organised by the Amateur Athletic Association (AAA), held from 24 to 25 August at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, England.

For the first time, it was not considered the national championships for the United Kingdom, as the 1997 British Athletics Championships (which incorporated the trials for the 1997 World Championships in Athletics) attracted a higher standard of national competitors than the AAA event.AAA WAAA and National Championships Medalists.

The British Athletics Federation's decision to hold its trials separately was taken due to the organisation's financial problems, which would ultimately result in its bankruptcy.Rowbottom, Mike (1997-08-25).
