Great North Half Marathon, Newcastle upon Tyne - 10 September 2017
Sir Mo Farah had to work hard to hold out Kiwi runner Jake Robertson to win the Great North half marathon for the fourth successive year. Farah ran 1:00:06, just six seconds ahead of Robertson with Ethiopias Olympic Games marathon silver medallist Feyisa Lilesa third in 1:01:32.
"It was an amazing race," said Farah. "Jake pushed the pace on and tried to get rid of me. He almost got rid of me, I wasnt going to tell him that, but he almost got rid of me with three miles to go because I was hurting. I just had to dig deep."
Jakes twin brother Zane was fourth in 1:01:42. Jakes personal best is 1:00:01 in Lisbon in March and Zane has a career best of 59:47 in Japan in 2015.
