Briton Mo Farah will compete in his career's second-to-last race at Great Manchester
Posted : 21 May 2023
On Sunday, Mo Farah will begin the Great Manchester 10k, the last competition of his career before his retirement in September.
After placing tenth in the London Marathon in April, Farah, 40, said that this year's Great North Run would be his last competitive event.
The four-time Olympic champion Farah will compete in the Manchester race for the first time since 2018.
He beat Moses Kipsiro in a sprint finish on that particular occasion.
"There is something incredibly special about racing in Manchester, the support from the city for me has always been phenomenal," Farah said.
"I'm looking forward to seeing the crowds out on the streets and the thousands of other runners who will be running.
"It will probably be quite emotional, but I'm so happy to have the chance to race in Manchester again before I retire."
