The half marathon, named The Big Half, will be held on March 4 and is expected to be Farah's first event since replacing his controversial coach Alberto Salazar with Gary Lough.

Farah holds the British record for a number of distances, including the half marathon, and will be aiming to lower Steve Jones' current British marathon mark of two hours, seven minutes and 13 seconds.
