About TAFi
The Premier Track and Field Inclusion Awards Ceremony
TAFi Awards is the UK’s most inclusive track and field awards ceremony, founded by Joel Campbell and Michael Facey to celebrate every contributor to the athletics community.
As the first comprehensive track and field inclusion awards show recognising the sport’s complete ecosystem, TAFi shines a spotlight on the coaches, officials, physiotherapists, administrators, media professionals, agents, and governing bodies who make athletics the world’s most inclusive sport.
Our Mission: Celebrating Track and Field Excellence Beyond the Track
While elite athletes capture headlines, TAFi Awards recognises that track and field success depends on an entire community of dedicated professionals. Our athletics awards ceremony celebrates the unsung heroes who sustain and develop the sport at every level, from grassroots coaching to international competition management.
