RunBlogRun opines: The Highgate Harriers Night of the 10,000 meters is one of the most creative events around the globe. RunBlogRun was there in 2016 and will be there in 2017. It features runners of many levels racing the 10,000m, with fans drinking beer, eating peculiar British foodstuffs and a fascinating approach to drinking beer and watching athletics. We want to bring this event to the former colonies.
