As part of the UKA Endurance Initiative, a women’s only 10,000m race will take place at Alexander Stadium, Birmingham on Saturday 5 August, during the weekend of the AAA U17 and U15 Championships.
The event is scheduled to take place at approximately 7.00pm and is open to any female athletes, including those racing over the distance for the first time.
Spencer Barden, Senior Co-ordinator for Endurance at UK Athletics said:
“This is a great competitive opportunity for women to race over 10,000m during the peak of the season. I will hope there will be a good number of entries, to reflect the feedback we have about increasing the number of quality races over the longer distances on track.”
All female athletes who wish to enter the 10,000m, should contact Spencer Barden, as soon as possible on 07917 424 567 or e-mail sbarden@ukathletics.org.uk by Friday 30 July.
