Far from just an evening of racing, the Night of the 10,000m PBs pitches itself as a “celebration” of the 25-lap event.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It is that ethos which has led many to believe the unique event represents the future of track distance running.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dubbed the <\/span>“Glastonbury of the 10,000m”<\/span><\/a> thousands will gather for a free night of racing, music, entertainment and the ‘lactic tunnels of love’ on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Britain’s 2022 winner Jessica Warner-Judd and runner-up Amy-Eloise Markovc both return at Parliament Hill, London.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scottish record holder Andrew Butchart is among the contenders in the men’s event, as the elite British athletes compete for UK Athletics Championship honours and World Championship qualification.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event’s unique approach includes a circus theatre show, while features such as infield spectating, a home straight pedestrian bridge, a back straight DJ and the lane three beer-and-cheer tents ensure fans are placed at the heart of the action.<\/span><\/p>\n

A total prize money of \u00a330,000 will be won, with the <\/span>first of 12 races starting at 15:00 BST<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a> before the schedule concludes with those key women’s and men’s championship races at 20:40 and 21:25 respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Warner-Judd, 28, leads the women’s entries with a personal best of 30 minutes 35.93 seconds, having <\/span>won in 31:22.24 last year to secure her place<\/span><\/a> at the 2022 World Championships.<\/span><\/p>\n

But runner-up Markovc will hope to qualify for the 2023 championships in Budapest this August after she missed out on the required time by an agonising 0.57 seconds last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fellow Britons Samantha Harrison and Verity Ockenden will be among those also looking to challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Butchart’s personal best of 27:36.77 is the fifth fastest in the men’s championship race. <\/span><\/p>\n

His competition will include world silver medallist Stanley Waithaka Mburu of Kenya and American two-time Olympic medallist Paul Chelimo as world-class athletes continue to be drawn to the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Live coverage of the Night of the 10,000m PBs is available on BBC iPlayer, Red Button and the BBC Sport website and app from 20:00 BST on Saturday.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
