Previously a host of the Diamond League from 2003 - 2010, the Müller Grand Prix returns to Gateshead and the North-East in 2021.

This year’s Wanda Diamond League will now begin in Gateshead on 23rd May following a few minor alterations to the 2021 season calendar.

The Wanda Diamond League season opener will be held in the UK for the first time in 2021, with Gateshead stepping in to replace Rabat as the first host city on this year’s circuit.

A meeting that has and continues to attract the biggest names in athletics from across the globe - and with the Gateshead International Stadium one that is steeped in history having played host to five world records -  the return of world-class one-day athletics to the North-East is sure to be welcomed by athletics fans world-wide.
