Four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah will make his return to competition at the Vitality London 10,000 in May.
The 38-year-old, Britain’s most decorated track and field athlete, has not raced since suffering a fractured foot in June last year.
He fell short of the 10,000m selection time for last year’s Tokyo Olympics at the British Championships.
Farah, the 5,000m and 10,000m champion at both the London and Rio Games, is a seven-time winner of the London 10,000.
The race, won by Farah in five consecutive years between 2009 and 2013, and again in 2018 and its most recent edition in 2019, will take place on Monday 2 May.
“I’ve been working hard to get back into shape following my injury last summer and I’ve got a few more months of hard training ahead of me,” said Farah.
“I have great memories of the event. I have won it seven times and racing in central London is something you can never get bored of. The atmosphere among the thousands of participants is always fantastic and I can’t wait to be part of it again.”
Farah said he would consider his future after failing to qualify for Tokyo, saying: “If I can’t compete with the best why bother?”
He later told the BBC he had “been struggling for quite a while” but added he was determined to recover from the injury and finish his career on his own terms.
