Eilish McColgan bids to win the Great North Run half-marathon for the first time when she lines up alongside 60,000 other runners on Sunday.
The Scot returned from injury to compete for Great Britain at the Paris Olympics, finishing 15th in the 10,000m.
She enters this weekend’s race in much better condition having won the Big Half marathon in London last weekend in 69 minutes and 14 seconds.
The 33-year-old British record holder will come up against two-time champion Vivian Cheruiyot, of Kenya, and Ethiopia’s Senbere Teferi.
While McColgan’s mum Liz won the Great North Run three times, Eilish’s best result is second place in 2021.
“Returning from this year’s Paris Olympics and on the road back from injury, I’m especially looking forward to the tens of thousands of spectators and supporters lining the streets, as well as the 60,000 runners taking part alongside me,” said McColgan.
