FRESH from competing in the Rio 2016 Olympics, Alyson Dixon is looking to regain her Kielder 10K crown.

The Sunderland Stroller, who represented Team GB in the marathon at this year’s Olympics, has confirmed her appearance in Saturday’s race, which is part of the ever popular Kielder Marathon weekend.

Alyson last competed at Kielder in 2012 when she won the ladies’ race in a time of 35 minutes and 59 seconds.

Her involvement in the weekend, which includes a marathon, half marathon, junior runs and a run, bike, run event, doesn’t end there though as she will stay on to hand out medals to the finishers on Sunday.
