Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 4th March to Sunday 5th March:

It's possible that there will be a full post-race video for Saturday's Breaking 10 road race in Barrowford with Emile Cairess and Andy Butchart amongst others. The organisers are promoting the possibility of Cairess breaking Richard Nerurkar's 46:02 British Record for 10 Miles. If it becomes available, I will add it to the document. The race will finish around 6.30pm.

As stated elswhere on the forum, The TEN event in California is pay-per-view (6 dollars) so is not included in the document below.

Saturday to Sunday

• Ongoing New Zealand Outdoor Championships (Wellington, NZL) - See the post above
• Ongoing European Indoor Championships (Istanbul, TUR) - See the post above
• Ongoing New South Wales State Senior & U23 Outdoor Championships (Sydney, NSW, AUS) - See the post above
• Ongoing Victorian State Senior & U20 Outdoor Championships (Melbourne, VIC, AUS) - See the post above
• Spanish U20 Indoor Championships (Sabadell, ESP) - Whilst there is a number of good athletes here it's probably fair to say that it's not loaded. Maybe it comes too late in the indoor season and some of the best U20s have already "shut their season down"?

Saturday

• Hobart Run the Bridge (Hobart, TAS, AUS) - International 10km road race; This year it looks like Aussies will be denied the home victory with 3 Ugandans competing - Kenneth Kiprop, Dan Kibet & Prisca Chesang (7th in World XC two weeks ago). Liam Adams, Leanne Pompeani and the Gregsons, Ryan & Genevieve, are amongst the top domestic entries
• USA 15km Championships (Jacksonville, FL, USA) - Leonard Korir & Hillary Bor are the pick of the Men's field whilst Emily Sisson should have the beating of a line-up that includes Allie Ostrander, Annie Frisbie & Dakotah Lindwurm
• Corrida Cipolletti (Cipolletti, ARG) - International 10km road race; I have no idea who's competing in this night race but I think it's usually a decent race with elite entries from several South American countries. Last year it was won in 29:00

Sunday

• Tokyo Marathon (Tokyo, JPN) - WA Elite Platinum Label race; We're missing the massive names here (they're all running Boston or London) but the fields are still strong and competitive. There's 9 sub-2:05 men including Sisay Lemma, Benard Koech and Stephen Kissa (UGA). There's also a total of 46 sub-2:10 athletes entered so it could be another crazy-deep race like last weekend's men's race in Osaka where there was a lead pack of 50+ at halfway! Amongst the other athletes are Cam Levins and Mohamed El Aaraby (2nd in NY, 2021). Kyohei Hosoya (JPN; 2:06:35 PB) has said he's attacking Kengo Suzuki's 2:04:56 NR. The Women's field is headed by 6 women separated on PBs by 1 minute. They include Ashete Bekere, Rosemary Wanjiru (2:18:00 debut in Berlin 2022) and Tsehay Gemechu. The three fastest Japanese women entered will likely be aiming to join the sub-2:20 club. However, Mao Ichiyama broke a rib in December so her form is uncertain. Mizuki Matsuda has her limitations I feel (though I'd love to be proven wrong) and the third of those is Ai Hosoda. She may be the best bet having run 2:21:42 in London where she was all on her own for most of the race (remember, London has a women-only race). Maybe, having the competition this time could be enough to push her under the 2:20 barrier?
• Copa Brasil Race Walking (Brasilia, BRA) - The Men's 20km could be good here with Brazil's 3 Tokyo Olympians, Caio Bonfim, Mattheus Correa & Lucas Mazzo. The Women's 35km could also be decent quality with Viviane Lyra, Elianay Pereira & Mayara Vicentainer. Sadly, their big gun on the Women's side, Erica de Sena, is missing. She DNF'd at the World RW Tour event in Ecuador last weekend

I ended up watching the replay of the Osaka Marathon on NHK plus after creating a free temporary 30 day account. The full account may require payment though, but I was really happy to watch the race with no text message covering the screen once I'd done that.

[LuckySpikes]

OK, cheers! I'll put it in the document that covers Friday.

[Grassmarket]

Aha! Found it! BTSport 4 Friday 15:30 SEC Championship - clashing with the Europeans.

[Grassmarket]

Yeah, looks like it is gone, I definitely set a record request the other day for it but can’t see it now.

[LuckySpikes]

I've checked up until Thursday on the BT Sport website guide but can't see it listed.

[Grassmarket]

The SEC meet gets a highlights show on BT Sport, check your EPG.

[cooperw02]

Ahh okay I'll see what happens, thanks for the heads up

[LuckySpikes]

Thanks, @cooperw02
Yes, I don't include the official NHK links now because whenever I watch them they have a large section of the screen permanently covered with text. I think it's to encourage people to pay money for the NHK Plus service. Do let me know if your experience is different though. (And yes, it does require a VPN)
99% of the time the unofficial NHK link I include works very well (no geo-blocking) and with very good picture quality too. But obviously it won't be available on-demand at that link.

[cooperw02]

Thank you for your great work again!
I am hopeful the following link will work for the Osaka Marathon live and On-demand for a week (with VPN I think): https://www.nhk.jp/p/ts/B7JQL55WL4/

Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 25th February to Sunday 26th February:

Saturday to Sunday

• Ongoing BUCS Indoor Championships (Sheffield, GBR) - See post above
• Czech U20 & U18 Indoor Championships (Ostrava, CZE)
• German U20 Indoor Championships (Dortmund, GER)
• French U20 & U18 Indoor Championships (Lyon, FRA)
• French Winter Throwing Championships (Salon-de-Provence, FRA) - Alexandra Tavernier, Melina Robert-Michon & Yann Chaussinand are amongst the competitors here and it also includes a few foreign athletes such as Vanessa Sterckendries in the Hammer
• Northern Sun Inter-Collegiate Conference (NSIC) Indoor Championships (Mankato, MN, USA) - NCAA D2 conference; This is another of the top D2 conferences, especially on the Women's side this year with 4 nationally ranked Top 25 teams, headed by Minnesota State, # 1 and Winona State # 9. For the Men, only Minnesota State (# 14) are in the national Top 25
• The Summit League Conference Indoor Championships (Vermillion, SD, USA) - NCAA D1 conference; Despite having no teams ranked in the national top 25 this is a decent conference, probably around the average for D1. It includes the Dakota universities
• Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Indoor Championships (Indianapolis, IN, USA) - NCAA D2 conference; This is a decent D2 conference, probably a bit above average, despite having few teams in the top rankings - only the Indianapolis (UIndy) women sneak into the national Top 25

Saturday

• Ongoing Mountain West Indoor Championships (Albuquerque, NM, USA) - See 2 posts above
• Ongoing Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Indoor Championships (Ashland, OH, USA) - NCAA D2 conference; See post above
• Ongoing Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Indoor Championships (Alamosa, CO, USA) - NCAA D2 conference; At 2,299m altitude; See post above
• Golden Fly Series Bangkok (Bangkok, THA) - International PV & LJ street meeting; There's decent international fields for this including Anicka Newell, Matt Ludwig & Seito Yamamoto in the PV and Burks, de Sousa, Sumire Hata (JPN) & Cheswill Johnson (RSA) in the LJ
• Spanish Winter Throwing Championships (Gavà, ESP) - There's some pretty good quality here for the long throws, including many of Spain's best such as Javier Cienfuegos, Lois Maikel Martinez and in the Jav, Manu & Nico Quijera
• English National Cross Country Championships (Bolesworth Castle, GBR) - Sadly, this event continues to be a shadow of its former self, probably in the wrong place on the calendar these days to attract really strong fields. Here in the Men's race the Mahamed brothers race a field that also includes Phil Sesemann. Jess Warner-Judd is entered in the Women's as is Amelia Quirk. The Men's U20 race does look quite strong
• Birmingham World Indoor Tour Final (Birmingham, GBR) - World Indoor Tour Gold meeting
• Trofeo Ciudad de Zaragoza Indoor (Zaragoza, ESP) - There's variable quality in the events at this international meeting with the Men's 3000, Men's 60 and Women's PV probably the pick of the events
• All Star Perche (Clermont-Ferrand, FRA) - World Indoor Tour Silver meeting; International Pole Vault Meeting; The fields are good without being amazing although Duplantis is competing. The Women's field is headed by the likes of Moser, Meijer & Kylypko

Sunday

• Osaka Marathon (Osaka, JPN) - WA Gold Label race; Not to be confused with the Osaka Women's Marathon that took place 3 weeks ago; There's quite strong fields here that include 4 men with recent sub-2:06 PBs, headed by Hailemaryam Kiros (ETH; 2:04:41 PB). Ayad Lamdessam, Eyob Faniel (ITA) & Stephen Mokoka add to the international interest. The fastest of the 6 sub-2:08 Japanese athletes entered is Toshiki Sadakata (2:07:05 PB). Vivian Kiplagat and Helen Bekele Tola head a good Women's field that also includes Lisa Weightman (AUS) and a couple of Japanese women with 2:25 PBs from 2022 - Ikumi Fukura & Rie Kawauchi. Places on the startline for October's MGC - the Japanese Marathon Olympic Trials - continue to be up for grabs but the qualifying system is too complicated to explain here! However, you may be able to get a sense of the system from the Preview article linked in the document. In the year or so since the qualification window opened just 28 men and 16 women have qualified so it's a tough race to get into
• Japanese Cross Country Championships (Fukuoka, JPN) - The fields are decent but not particularly deep by Japanese standards. They include star Steepler Ryuji Miura and Daichi Kamino in the Men's race and Haruka Yamaguchi (prolific amateur marathoner with a 2:26 PB) & Hibiki Onishi in the Women's race
• Breaking Records in NMBM 50km (Gqeberha (new name for Port Elizabeth), RSA) - WA Elite Label race; This is the world's leading 50km road race and the scene in 2021 of the Men's & Women's World Records and also the Men's World Record last year; This year's fields are reportedly strong but mostly unfamiliar to me, although Sweden's veteran Hanna Lindholm is making her ultra debut
• Spanish 35km Race Walking Championships & U20, U18 & U16 Autonomous Federations Championships (Cieza, ESP) - Spain is always one of the strongest race walking nations and these races are pretty loaded domestically with, I think, only three of their best missing
• Castellón Marathon & 10k Castellón (Castellón, ESP) - both WA Label races; The 10km looks like the stronger of the 2 races here but since the live stream starts 20 minutes after the 10km starts we might not get to see that race. Just in case, the Men's race features a host of good Kenyans and Jimmy Gressier whilst Faith Kimutai, Alina Reh and Rino Goshima (JPN) are amongst the Women - see, I mentioned elsewhere on the forum that the Japanese are competing much more abroad these days! In the Marathon, the Ethiopians look like the main contenders with Abraham Girma Bekele (2:06:48 PB) and Sashu Insermu (2:23:28 PB) the fastest in their fields. In the Women's race Algeria's 9:25 Steepler, Amina Bettiche, makes her marathon debut after a 71:38 Half last November
• Cross das Amendoeiras em Flor AKA Almond Blossom Cross Country (Albufeira, POR) - World Cross Country Tour Gold meeting; It has to be said that this is one of the weaker Gold meetings on the World XC Tour. Having said that, the Women's race isn't bad, headed by Likina Amebaw (ETH), Sarah Lahti, Elena Burkard & Majida Maayouf (MAR) who was a strong winner of the Spanish Cross Country Championships recently. The Men's race includes Yann Schrub, Ireland's Efrem Gidey and Younes Kniya (MAR)
• Cross Nacional Castellano Manchego - Manuel Goya Burgués Memorial (Quintanar de la Orden, ESP) - As always there's strong domestic fields for this, especially this year in the Men's race that includes Hassaous, Chiki Perez, Bascuñana, Javi Guerra, Carro & the breakthrough Spanish XC athlete of the winter, Sergio Paniagua. The Women's field is headed by a strong trio of Spain's best in Sanchez-Escribano, Luengo & Barreiro, the first two not content to end their cross country season after being Spain's top two at Worlds last weekend!
• Atlanta Half Marathon (Atlanta, GA, USA) - WA Label race; This is quite loaded with domestic athletes barely getting a look in. Josphat Tanui (59:22 PB) heads 4 sub-60 men lining up and Cynthia Limo (66:04 PB) leads the Women's field; From what I've read the live stream is going to be a professional production and will include TV regular Carrie Tollefson amongst the commentators
• Guadalajara International Half Marathon (Guadalajara, MEX) - WA Gold Label race; No idea of who's racing this year but usually this is a good event, won last year in 61:20 and 69:12
• USA Half Marathon Championships (Fort Worth, TX, USA) - There's decent fields for this, amongst them Molly Seidel, Nell Rojas, Aliphine Tuliamuk, Lauren Paquette, Leonard Korir, Futsum Zienasellassie, Abbabiya Simbassa & Scott Fauble

Re the NCAA D1 conference championships this weekend ... streaming for all the big ones is tied up by FloTrack and ESPN channels that we can't access for free on the internet.

• Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Indoor Championships (Ashland, OH, USA) - NCAA D2 conference; This is quite a good conference with 2 nationally ranked Men's teams (Tiffin # 11 and Walsh, 13) and also 2 nationally ranked Women's teams (Findlay, 18 and Hillsdale, 22)
• Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Indoor Championships (Alamosa, CO, USA) - NCAA D2 conference; At 2,299m altitude; This is one of the best two or three D2 conferences with 3 Men's teams ranked in the national Top 8 (headed by Adams State # 2) and a further 2 Men's teams in the Top 20. There's 6 of the Women's teams in the national Top 25 with four in the Top 14, headed again by Adams State at # 2

Friday to Sunday

• BUCS Indoor Championships (Sheffield, GBR) - The entry lists are massive in some events so, apologies, it's difficult to wade through and summarise. Anyway, I guess that you kind of know what to expect from these championships
