The competition and regulations will be adhered to government guidelines for competitors and those helping to stage the championship.
Executive Member for Skills, Culture and Leisure, Councilor Luthfur Rahman, said: “Although Mancunians will sadly not be able to attend in person, we’re delighted to be working with UK Athletics to enable the 2020 Müller British Athletics Championships event to go ahead. As a world-class sporting city with elite facilities such as Manchester Regional Arena, plus a strong commitment to encouraging and widening sporting participation, Manchester is the natural choice to play host to this prestigious event.”
