LONDON’S PARLIAMENT HILL IS TO HOST THE EUROPEAN EVENT NEXT MAY – The European 10,000m Cup is to take place in Britain for the first-time next year as it forms part of the Highgate Harriers Night of the 10,000m PBs.
On May 19, London’s Parliament Hill track will welcome athletes from across Europe as well as the UK as the innovative, volunteer-powered Night of the 10,000m PBs event returns for the sixth year.
“It is a great pleasure to take the European 10,000m Cup to Britain at last,” said European Athletics president SVEN ARNE HANSEN.
“The Night of the 10,000m PBs has become a very popular event very quickly, which goes to show how well-organised it is and also that there is a need for top-quality races in Europe over 25 laps of the track.
“Integrating the Cup into the Night of 10,000m PBs will move both events to another level and heighten interest in both events. I think it is a win-win situation for both parties and shows European Athletics’ willingness to embrace new competitive concepts.”
He added: “I think it’s highly likely that the leading runners in London will be in contention for medals in the distance events at the Berlin 2018 European Athletics Championships later next summer.
“Last year, the Night attracted a large number of running celebrities on and off the track, including the IAAF President SEBASTIAN COE and marathon world record-holder PAULA RADCLIFFE.
