Olympic legends Edwin Moses and Mark Spitz are set to line up on the start line at the Bushy Park parkrun on Saturday.

Moses - who won Olympic gold medals in the 400 metres hurdles in 1976 and 1984 - and Spitz, who famously swam to seven gold medals in one Olympiad at the 1972 Games in Munich, will be taking part in the 5km run through one of London’s famous Royal Parks, just a short distance away from Hampton Court Palace.

The pair, in town for the Laureus World Sports Awards held in London on Monday, will compete alongside more than 600 atheltes.
