Everton's stadium to have running track for Commonwealth Games bid

Liverpool has unveiled its plans for hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games, which features a running track at Everton's new ground.

The city is bidding to stage the event in five years' time after Durban was stripped of the honour by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) in March following budgetary concerns.

The UK Government is expected to decide whether Liverpool or Birmingham will become its candidate city in September, and the CGF will then decide between the British choice and bidders from further afield by the end of the year.

At the heart of the bid is the proposed new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, which was recently given the green light to be Premier League club Everton's new abode.
