British Athletics Championships

The 2016 British Athletics Championships was the national championship in outdoor track and field for the United Kingdom held at Alexander Stadium, Birmingham, from 24–26 June 2016. The event was organised by UK Athletics. A full range of outdoor events were held.[1]

The championships served as the main qualification event for the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team at the 2016 Summer Olympics for all events except combined events, marathons, race walks and the 10,000 metres.[2] In addition, shorter track walking events were held during the British Championships that did not involve qualification for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

  • 10000 metres: Highgate Night of 10,000 m PBs:at Parliament Hill Fields Athletics Track.[4] The top two British finishers in each race qualified if they have the qualification time. Jess Andrews made the qualification time to win the event, while Beth Potter, the second Briton, already had the time and also qualified automatically. In the men's race, neither of the top two British finishers made the qualification time. Following the event, however, Ross Millington made the time and secured qualification. World and Olympic champion Mo Farah has been pre-selected for the event at Rio.
