Farah Wins, Keitany Breaks Record
Double Olympic, World and European champion Mo Farah became the first British man to win the Bupa Great North Run since 1985 when he crossed the line of the IAAF Gold Label Road Race in a winning time of 1:00:00 on Sunday (7).
However, usurping Farah in the eyes of unbiased athletics fans, the performance of the day came in the women’s race, where Mary Keitany spectacularly broke Paula Radcliffe’s 11-year old course record by one second.
