"I can confirm that I will run the NYC Half on March 16, as part of my buildup to the London Marathon in April"said the 2 time Olympic Champion Farah.

"It will be my second time to compete in this event, after my win there in 2011. I have been training hard in Kenya and hope to use the New York race to gauge my fitness one month out from my 26.2 mile debut."
