Sir Mo Farah to make decision on next marathon event this week

By Press Association

Last Updated: 07/06/18 6:46pm

Sir Mo Farah will decide whether to run his next marathon in Chicago or New York by the end of the week.

The four-time Olympic champion posted a British record at the London Marathon in April as he finished third behind Kenyan winner Eliud Kipchoge.

Farah is now weighing up whether to take on the 26.2-mile race in Chicago next in October or wait to take on the New York route four weeks later.

He said: "I feel great, the London Marathon went well and I did as well as I could. I came away with the British record even though it was a hot day.
