Scot looking to continue momentum following her 10th place finish in the World Championships marathon last year

A four-strong Great Britain & Northern Ireland team has been named for the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark, on March 29.

Susan Partridge leads the team, the Scottish marathoner having won the trial race in Reading on Sunday with 72:20 to also better the UKA qualifying standard.

"I'm very pleased that I'm able to represent GB & NI again this spring and I'm keen to try and keep the momentum going after my 10th place finish at the World Championships marathon last summer," said Partridge. "I've been building up my training since the beginning of the year and things are starting to come together again so I am hopeful that in a few more weeks I'll be in good enough shape to be competitive in a strong international field."

Joining her in the women's race is Alyson Dixon who finished third in Reading and had the qualifying time from 2013.

Rory Fraser, who clocked 62:48 in Houston on his half marathon debut in January, will be joined in the men's race by Ben Moreau who was third in the UK marathon and half marathon rankings in 2013.
