London marathon winner Vivian Cheruiyot (Pictured) and Britain’s four-time Olympic champion and six-time world champion Mo Farah will defend their Great North Run 21km titles on September 9.
The two head to the North East longing to make history. Mo Farah won in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, and a fifth win would put him into the record books. Vivian targets a second win in three years in the race from Newcastle to South Shields. It is the second largest half-marathon in the world.
