Mo Farah’s final race at his home city of London ended with the four-time Olympic champion finishing fourth in The Big Half.

The 40-year-old stayed in touch with the leading pack for the first half of Sunday’s elite men’s race but dropped back after about 30 minutes.

Jack Rowe claimed victory in a personal best of one hour one minute 8 seconds, with Farah clocking 1:02:43.

Farah, who has six world titles to go with his four Olympic gold medals, was next to finish and has confirmed he will retire after competing at the Great North Run on September 10.

“It was quite emotional because I haven’t been feeling well this week as I’ve got a bit of a cold,” said Farah.
