Farah Making XC Return in Edinburgh
Double world and OIympic champion Mo Farah will return to his roots when he opens his 2015 racing schedule at the international Great Edinburgh XCountry, an IAAF Cross Country Permit meeting, at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh on 10 January.
Farah, the reigning world, Olympic and European 5000m and 10,000m champion, will be contesting his first cross-country race for four years when he lines up in the Scottish capital.
Now, as he prepares for a 2015 summer track season in which he intends to defend his world 5000m and 10,000m crowns in Beijing, the 31-year-old will be laying the groundwork with his first cross-country race since winning the 8km at the 2011 Great Edinburgh International race.
