Farah will return to the North East of England on 11 September for the world’s biggest half marathon - and this time is wife will be taking on the GNR challenge too for the very first time.

Having finished runner up to Ethiopian superstar Kenenisa Bekele in 2013, Farah claimed the Great North Run crown in 2014 before retaining it a year later with a British and European record time of 59.22.
