The field for the Great Manchester 10k is rather incredible, why on earth don't they promote it beforehand?! I'd have stayed in Manchester a bit longer, had I known, to watch this.

Current status of World Indoor Qs, and those attending the British Championships. As it stands, the women's 1500m is the only event with more qualifiers due to race at the trials than places. (apols for any errors, please let me know of any)
