Side Street Style: Müller Anniversary Games - The Family Sporting event of the Summer

I don't know about you but I am really looking forward to the summer holidays and making is as action packed as possible and making the most of every single day. After what has felt like a really long winter and spring it's so nice to feel the sunshine and get outdoors for hours on end and it's als the perfect time to encourage kids to get active and into sport. Having done a lot of sport growing up it's something that I am pretty passionate about and want to get my eldest enthusiastic about too so when Mumsnet and the Muller Anniversary Games go in touch to see if my family and I would be interested in coming along for an action-packed day of world-class athletics. They recently had a launch event at Park Primary in Stratford for an extra special sports class for some of the pupils with two leading British stars the 100m British champion Reece Prescod and para-Olympic gold winner in long jump Stef Reid.

For those who don't know the Muller Anniversary Games is a two-day weekend event happening on the 21st and 22nd July at the London Stadium, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and forms part of the prestigious IAAF Diamond League series. So one can certainly expect to see some of the best athletes in the world make their way to the capital city and previous years have played host to household names such as Usain Bolt, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and Sir Mo Farah among many others. A few records have also been broke at these games including Kendra Harrison breaking the 100m hurdles world record in 2016, I wonder if any will be broken this year?

So if your looking for something unforgettable to do this summer holidays as well as inspire your kids to try something new then why not come to the Muller Anniversary Games - tickets are on sale now and start at £10 from British Athletics

I'm working with Mumsnet and Muller Anniversary Games

What a fab idea! I want to encourage my boys to be more active and booking tickets for this would be a step in the right direction x

I haven't ever heard of this event - not surprising really as my kind of sport has to have an engine in it!

It looks amazing, although sadly it's a little bit too far for me to travel with 3 kids, but it certainly looks like great fun for anyone who can go.

I have only just heard about the Games today. It sounds such a great weekend. The kids must have been so excited to meet the athletes at their school. Sadly the Games are just too far for us to visit, but if it was closer I would have loved to have gone.
