Mo Farah is amongst a host of star names set to compete at the Indoor Grand Prix, staged at the newly renovated Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham. Farah, the reigning Olympic, world and European champion over 5,000m and 10,000m, will be competing at the event for the seventh time as he tests his fitness at the start of a year in which he will hope to defend his world titles.

Rising British star Katarina Johnson-Thompson will contest the long jump, the event in which she became world junior champion in 2012 and won World Indoor Championships silver in 2014. There is also a strong British line-up in the men's 60m, with world indoor champion Richard Kilty joined by James Dasaolu, who won this event last year. In the women's sprint, British trio Jodie Williams, Dina Asher-Smith and Asha Philip are up against world-class rivals such as the USA's Carmelita Jeter.
