Description

This summer… get ready to meet a different kind of track meet. 
Where the world's fastest athletes meet a festival atmosphere. 
The big run is proud to be partnering with On to bring you a series of preview podcasts around their global track night series.     
This week we'll be building the excitement for ⁠⁠Track Fest⁠⁠ with episodes dropping each morning with key figures on and off the track.
On today's episode, we sit down with the North American indoor record holder for the 1500m mile and 3k. Records he secured at the start of this year in a relatively short amount of time. You could say he had the perfect indoor season so we’re excited to see what he can do when he toes the line for the 800m tomorrow at the track fest.
In this conversation his hopes for his turtle's outdoor season, his expectations for the 800m and why the OTN series will be serving up something very different for athletic fans.
A big thank you to Yared for coming on the show and to you all for tuning in this week. 
There’s nothing left but for the athletes to warm up, spike up and get ready to dance as Im sure the audience will be when Kyle takes to the stage.
So, if you are in LA you know where to head tomorrow and for those that can’t make it head over to Sound Running for all the information you need to get the PPV, a large share of which contributes to the athlete prize purse. I myself will be staying up late or getting up early rather to watch all the action unfold. 
 We’ll be back with a preview build for London’s Night of 10,000m including a special episode recorded live at the event at Highgate. It’s going to be something special.
Here's what to expect at Track Fest:
Part music festival, part track meet, LA's Track Fest is unmissable for running fans (and fans of a good time).
It's a World Athletics Silver level meet organized in collaboration with Sound Running with 800m, 1500m, steeplechase, 5000m and 10,000m events. There will also be a community event where you can watch LA's local run clubs compete for the title in a 4x1 mile relay on the legendary Mt. Sac course. Grab a drink and cheer them on alongside ultrarunner extraordinaire (and master of ceremonies), ⁠⁠⁠⁠Mikey Mitchell⁠⁠⁠⁠.
The track will be lit up with pyrotechnics, and surrounded by food trucks and beer tents. Oh yeah, and your food is covered with your ticket. And as if all that wasn't enough, to top it off, we'll have a performance from US rapper ⁠⁠⁠⁠Kyle ⁠⁠⁠⁠
To buy tickets and learn more about how to stream the event via PPV head over to ⁠⁠Sound Running⁠⁠ 

The Full line up of events are:
Track Fest - 6th May - LA
Night of the 10,000m PB's - 20th May - London
