The Josh Kerr Mile at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
The Josh Kerr Mile is scheduled for 16 July 2026 at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park South Park in London. The event features the mile distance run on a chip timed road course within the grounds of the Olympic Stadium.
Presented by Brooks and organised by RunThrough, the event brings together runners for an evening race meeting focused on the mile. Participants will start in waves across the event programme to manage numbers and pacing on the course.
The event is inspired by a leading British middle-distance athlete and aims to offer a measured race setting for athletes and recreational runners alike. The format emphasises accurate timing and a race atmosphere specific to the iconic mile distance.
All entry fees for this event will be donated to a youth athletics club in Edinburgh to help support young athletes in that city. The event description notes a connection with elite performance attempts and a wider celebration of the mile as a competitive distance in a prominent London sporting location.
