Alexander Stadium
EPP's flagship location. World-class performance testing and coaching at the venue that hosted the 2022 Commonwealth Games — now available to every athlete in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
Elite Environment.
Every Athlete.
Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr is the UK's largest athletics stadium and one of the finest athletic performance venues in the world. Redeveloped to a £72 million specification for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, it features a World Athletics Category 1 certified track, state-of-the-art indoor facilities and a dedicated High Performance Centre.
Training and competing in a world-class environment matters. EPP chose Alexander Stadium as our flagship location because we believe every athlete deserves access to elite facilities — regardless of their level or background.
