BUCS 10,000 Host Announced

September 26, 2017 James Findon News

The Loughborough Open Meet will host the BUCS 10,000 Championships in 2018.

The event split off from BUCS Outdoor Championships in 2017 due to UKA permitting regulations on timetable duration. The 2017 event was held alongside Highgate Harriers Night of the 10,000m PB’s.

LUCA had applied to host the event but the BUCS sports advisory group decided to award the competition to Loughborough University. The decision was based upon a number of factors including the date of event, resource needed from BUCS office and the permit process.

BUCS will review the competition at the end of next season to look at options for 2019 and beyond.

The event will be held on Saturday 28 April 2018 at the Paula Radcliffe Stadium, Loughborough University.

Entries will be charged at £13.50.
