List of British champions in 5000 metres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The British 5,000 metres athletics champions covers four competitions; the current British Athletics Championships which was founded in 2007,[1] the preceding AAA Championships (1880-2006), the Amateur Athletic Club Championships (1866-1879) and finally the UK Athletics Championships which existed from 1977 until 1997 and ran concurrently with the AAA Championships.[2] The distance was originally 4 miles but in 1932 switched to 3 miles.

Where an international athlete won the AAA Championships the highest ranking UK athlete is considered the National Champion in this list.
