Bob Lewis Memorial Meeting 2026: Five Weeks to Go

Five weeks to go until the Bob Lewis Memorial Meeting on 30 August 2026, and the prize list is building.
The meeting's two confirmed prizes are now in place. For Masters athletes, the lemon drizzle cake — awarded to the best 400m performance based on age grading — remains the centrepiece, honouring Bob Lewis's well-documented fondness for the cake and his legacy as a European Masters Games Champion over 400m. For junior athletes, TF1 Athletic T-shirts are on offer for the best male and female performer in each age group from U14 to U20. More prize announcements are still to come.
The image accompanying this announcement shows Bob Lewis himself — pictured in a Great Britain vest at the European Masters Games in 2011, bib number 2272. It is a reminder of what the meeting is named after and what it is designed to celebrate: competitive longevity, long-term commitment to the sport, and the particular culture of Masters athletics where athletes keep racing and improving well into their forties, fifties, sixties and beyond.
The meeting is part of the European Masters League calendar, meaning Masters athletes competing on 30 August will be accumulating league points alongside racing for the lemon drizzle prize. For athletes looking to strengthen their European Masters League standing in the final month of the outdoor season, the timing is useful. For junior athletes from U14 upwards, it is an open meeting with a prize structure that rewards the best performance in your age group on the day, regardless of where you finish in the overall race.
The Bob Lewis Memorial Meeting is now in its fourth year. It takes place at the Weir Archer Athletics and Fitness Centre, Kingston Road, KT1 3PB — Momentum Sports' home track — and is sponsored by TF1 Athletic. Entries are open on OpenTrack via the Bob Lewis Memorial listing.
