Callum Hawkins wants to challenge Sir Mo Farah Great Britain's Callum Hawkins says he is relishing the chance to battle Sir Mo Farah in the marathon from next year, after finishing an impressive fourth at the World Championships in London. The Scot equalled the best-ever finish by a British man in the event, and the best in 22 years since Peter Whitehead's performance in Gothenburg with his display on Sunday. The 25-year-old, ninth at last year's Olympics in Rio, clocked a personal best two hours 10 minutes and 17 seconds as he crossed the finish line at Tower Bridge 26s off bronze. Hawkins' sense of slight frustration at missing out on a medal is a clear sign of his confidence - and he is determined to give Farah a run for his money when the 10-time global track champion takes to the roads full-time.

Lakini pia amekua ni muanzirishi wa Sokoine Mini Marathoni ambayo hufanyika Monduli Juu kwa hayati Edward Moringe Sokoine.

L-R, Coach Francis John, Secretary General Athletics Tanzania, and Alphonce Simbu . Geoffrey Kirui won the 2017 world men’s marathon title – becoming Kenya’s fifth champion in the event - after winning a testing duel in the sun with Ethiopia’s Tamirat Tola over the four-loop course that began and ended on Tower Bridge, where he finished in 2:08:27. In so doing, the 2017 Boston Marathon winner extended his country’s record as the most successful nation in the history of this event at the IAAF World Championships. Tola, the Olympic 10,000m bronze medallist and fastest in the field thanks to the 2:04:11 he recorded in winning this year’s Dubai Marathon, required medical treatment after struggling home in 2:09:49, just two seconds ahead of Tanzania’s Alphonce Simbu, who clocked 2:09:41. Home runner Callum Hawkins, who had featured intermittently in the lead through the first half of the race, finished strongly for fourth place in a personal best of 2:10:17. Kenya’s Gideon Kipketer, who s...
