Athletics championships in the UK at 10,000 meters, which doubles as trials for the World Athletics Championships in September in Tokyo, will see some of the best runners at a distance across the country to fight for qualification.

The meeting, managed by volunteers and viewer, created by Ben Gaid in 2013 to improve British racing standards, returns in two years and is expected to be bigger and better.

This meant that this year’s 10,000m internal championships needed another place, with the University of Birmingham being the preferred choice.

The university was actually hosted by the Olympic trials in Tokyo 10,000 m four years ago, with Eilish McColgan and Mark Scott securing their place on the plane, becoming national champions.

The 10-time global champion insisted that he was hindered by an ankle injury after being 27: 50.64 under the lights.
