The Euro Cup 10,000m is a fascinating event. Held in Pacé, France for the last three editions, this is one of the 40 plus events shown for FREE via Streaming on European Athletics website. Phil MInshull provided thoughtful commentating, allowing fans to enjoy the events and not have to deal with constant commentating. Good stats, and the communication of exciting parts of the races are what highlight Minshull’s comments. He is a track fan who knows what track fans like.
The women’s A race was fun to watch, as were both men’s A and B races. Now in its 27th holding, the EA Euro Cup 10,000m is a fascinating evening of 25 lappers in Europe.
Efram Gidey gave Ireland its first win at the Euro Cup 10000m! In March, at the Sound Running #10k Efram broke the Irish NR set by the Olympic bronze medalist John Treacy (also two time World XC Champs)!
The 10,000m is a glorious event. 25 laps of chess like moves, where the athlete red lines and then, with 800 or so to go, just turns into a sprinter! In the world in 2025, there are just a handful of events focused on giving athletes at all levels a chance to truly race over the 10,000 meters. The Euro Cup 10,000m is one of them. When Team GBR did not send a team, one Brit paid his own way and was rewarded with a PB! That is dedication!
Next year, we should have the Night of 10,000m PBs, presented by the HighGate Harriers in 2026. The event took a sabbatical this year.
