Josh Kerr’s world record mile attempt has been confirmed after the Scot was named as part of a strong international field at the Diamond League Series event at London Stadium on Saturday.
Compatriot Neil Gourley, the European indoor mile record-holder and 2025 world indoor silver medallist, will also take part in the famous Emsley Carr Mile.
Also joining 28-year-old Olympic silver medallist and two-time world indoor champion Kerr will be Paris Olympic bronze medallist Yared Nuguse and fellow Americans Hobbs Kessler and Nathan Green.
Jake Wightman, last year’s world 1500m silver medallist, will take his place in one of the strongest 800m line-ups of recent years.
