Watch LIVE! 10km record chase on for Almgren, Schrub, McColgan, Van Lent
21st February 2026Just three days on from Keely Hodgkinson's sensastional new 800m world record, European superstars are setting their sights on more records at the 10K Facsa Castellon on Sunday (22) and you can see it all LIVE from 8:45 CET on the European Athletics YouTube channel.
After smashing the European 10km records in Valencia on 11 January, Sweden's Andreas Almgren and Great Britain's Eilish McColgan retun to Spain to targetting their own records of 26:46 (men's) and 30:08 (women's).
They will each face incredibly tough field of competitors to both push them and threaten the records themselves.
In the men's race, European 10km champion Yann Schrub of France is in superb shape, recently breaking the French 3000m indoor record and will be eager to run fast again.
Decorated Norwegian trio Magnus Tuv Myhre, Henrik Ingebrigtsen, Zerei Kbrom Mezngi, African U20 5km record holder Kuma Girma and Australian half marathon record-holder Jack Rayner form potent opposition.
And the women’s race is just as explosive.
Belgium’s Jana Van Lent held the European record for seven days before McColgan beat it by two seconds. Now they meet head-to-head.
With Megan Keith (GBR), Klara Lukan (SLO), Sarah Lahti (SWE), Maureen Koster (NED), Ababel Yeshaneh (ETH) and Miriam Chebet (KEN) it has all the makings of an all-time classic.
