Mo Farah will join Colin Jackson, Dame Kelly Holmes, David Weir, Jamie Baulch and Richard Whitehead at the National Running Show at the NEC in Birmingham on January 20-21.

Farah won 10 global championship gold medals (four Olympic and six world titles) during his career but retired from elite athletics earlier this year.

He said: Im happy to be speaking at the National Running Show in January. I look forward to talking to runners at a show created for runners. Running is a sport that no matter what or where you come form, if you work hard at it you can achieve something.
