Tough opposition for the Brit on his final competitive appearance on September 10

Mo Farah will renew his rivalry with two of his old adversaries Geoffrey Kamworor and Muktar Edris in his last competitive appearance in the AJ Bell Great North Run next week.

Kamworor is a three-time world half-marathon champion and two-time winner of the New York City Marathon in addition to finishing runner-up in the London Marathon five months ago.

The Kenyan says: Im really looking forward to taking on my first Great North Run in Newcastle, as Ive heard many good things about the event.

Sir Mo Farah he has had such an incredible career, its exciting to be a part of his last ever race, but Im obviously here to win and add my name to the list of champions.

Edris, meanwhile, won the world 5000m title in 2017 ahead of Farah and then successfully defended his title in 2019. Over half-marathon he has a best of 58:40 and says: Ive raced Mo on the track but this is the first time we have met on the roads.

I have great respect for him. After we raced in London 2017 World Championships, I named my son after him and I look forward to renewing our friendship and rivalry.

One week before the Great North Run, Farah, who is now 40, races in the Big Half in London (September 3) with the event acting as the half-marathon trial for the World Road Running Champs in Latvia on October 1.
