Isle of Man athlete David Mullarkey has been selected to represent Great Britain at the European Athletics Championships next month.

This year’s event will take place at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham between Monday, August 10 and Sunday, August 16.

The 26-year-old long distance runner is currently in Glasgow where he is competing in the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

He gets his Games programme started this evening (Tuesday) when he tackles the men’s 10,000 metre race at Scotstoun Stadium alongside fellow Isle of Man athlete Ollie Lockley.

Already a GB international, Mullarkey made his senior debut for Great Britain at last year’s 2025 European Athletics Team Championships in Madrid, finishing eighth in the men’s 5000m.

He will line up in Birmingham next month alongside Joe Wigfield and Scott Beattie, the latter of which is also competing in the 10km race in Glasgow tonight.
