The Zatopek:10 is likely the world's longest-running event focused on the 10,000m, and is steeped in history.  A preview of the event will be added to this article shortly, but for now here is the list of winners for the men's event, first run in 1961, and the women's event, first run in 1976, which means it will be the 50th women's Zatopek to be run next week.
