The event was held at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, London, from 19 to 20 August 1977.[3][4]

1977 saw the introduction of the UK Athletics Championships, which was open to British athletes only. Although designed to rival the AAA and WAAA Championships it failed to attract all of the leading British athletes.
