Mo Farah is to return to competitive cross country racing for the first time in four years when he competes in Edinburgh next year.

The double Olympic, world and European track champion told Athletics Weekly he would start his preparation for defending his world 5000 and 10,000m titles by taking part in the Great Edinburgh Cross Country on January 10.

And the 31-year old will be looking to repeat the success of his last visit to the Capital - when he won the event, before going on to claim his first world gold in the 5000m.
