Mo Farah will race over 1500 metres at the Sainsbury's Birmingham Grand Prix in June, organisers have announced. The double Olympic champion over 5,000m and 10,000m will step down in distance for the Diamond League event on June 7 as he looks to hone his finishing speed ahead of the World Championships in Beijing in August. Mo Farah will race in Birmingham in the first time he's competed in 1,500m since 2013 . The race will be the first time the 32-year-old has competed over 1500m since he broke the European record by clocking three minutes 28.81 seconds in Monaco two years ago. Farah, who is unbeaten at the Alexander Stadium for seven years, said: 'It will be good to step down to 1500m and test myself over a shorter distance. Some of the best middle distance runners in the world will be in the field so I will have to be at my best to compete with them.' Jessica Ennis-Hill became a national hero when she won heptathlon gold at the London 2012 Olympics . Farah and Greg Rutherford are set to compete at the Anniversary Games at the Olympic Stadium . Meanwhile, Farah will join a couple other Olympic gold medal winners from London's so-called 'Super Saturday' when he teams up with Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg Rutherford to take part in the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games. All three won their gongs the same day three years ago in the 10,000 metres, heptathlon and long jump respectively. They return to the Olympic Stadium as part of a three-day extravaganza involving some of the world’s finest athletes.
