How to watch the Big Half marathon on the BBC

Bekele won Olympic 10,000m gold at Athens 2004 and 5,000m and 10,000m gold at Beijing 2008

The Big Half marathon takes place in London on Sunday - and the BBC has live streaming on the BBC Sport website and app.

Ethiopia's Kenenisa Bekele, who ran the second fastest marathon in history last September, is the favourite to win the men's race.

Bekele, the world record holder for 5,000m and 10,000m, was due to face Mo Farah but the Briton, winner of the past two Big Half races, pulled out because of an Achilles injury.

Bekele, 37, is gearing up for a London Marathon showdown with Kenyan world record holder Eliud Kipchoge on 26 April.

Kenya's Lawrence Cherono, who won the Boston and Chicago marathons last year, is expected to provide Bekele's main threat.

Leading British athletes include Chris Thompson, Dewi Griffiths and Ross Millington.

Britain's Lily Partridge and Hayley Carruthers are favourites to win the women's race.

The Big Half starts next to Tower Bridge and finishes at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich.
