London 2017: Get the latest from Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

This week we joined Britain’s fastest woman Dina Asher-Smith and Paralympian Richard Whitehead at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for a very special announcement.

The British athletics were on hand to help launch London 2017‘s search for 4,000 ‘runners’ for the upcoming Championships.

Dina and Richard met with a group of volunteers who have already signed up, aiming to encourage more people to get involved in the action next summer.

Here, they tell us why they’re excited to be a part of London 2017 and look ahead to that one-of-a-kind atmosphere that will fill the Olympic Park once again next year.
