Sir Sir Mo Farah has been announced as the new ambassador for Nike's community running partner Marathon Kids, where he will help children to run or walk the equivalent of up to four marathons at school, at running clubs or with their families.

The Olympian commented 'I love running, and it's given me and my family so much. As a dad, I know how important it is for my children to be active, and I’m honoured to have the chance to inspire kids to run with Marathon Kids'.
