(Reuters) - Briton Mo Farah is set for a baptism of fire in his marathon bow when he takes on an elite field that includes Uganda's Olympic and world champion Stephen Kiprotich in London in April.
The double Olympic and world 5,000 and 10,000 metres champion will race over 26.2 miles for the first time and will also be up against Kenya's world record holder Wilson Kipsang, last year's winner Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia and Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai who set a course record in 2011.
