How to watch in the US: We’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is our favorite American play-by-play man, Bill Spaulding, who has been doing the Ivy League championships with LetsRun.com co-founder Robert Johnson the last two years (and did the Rio Olympics on NBC’s experimental 4k broadcast), is doing the broadcast. The bad news is it will cost you $69.99 to watch. Yes, $69.99. The only way to watch it live is via the NBC Sports Gold Track & Field Pass. This requires a subscription ($69.99 for one year), which can be purchased here but somehow in the year 2017 there is no way to purchase just one meet or even get a monthly pass to make sure you like an untested product. Next Friday’s Prefontaine Distance action (Genzebe Dibaba world record attempt at 5,000m) will also only be on the Gold Pass. Many of the meets that are on Gold (Diamond League) are also on TV for free (if you get NBCSN and Universal HD). The pass also gets you more coverage of the World Championships in London. With the pass, you can also watch full event replays online as well as extra live dedicated cameras for Diamond League meets (meaning you can watch field events in their entirety but sadly that doesn’t mean you get to watch distance races in their entirety as they still will cut out for field events).
To buy the pass, click here.
How to watch for non-U.S. viewers: If you have a non-US IP, you can watch the meet through AthleticsCanada.TV, though it requires signing up for a RunnerSpace +PLUS subscription. It’s only $12.99 for one month.
