Farah will switch his focus to the roads and bowed out in triumphant fashion by edging out Paul Chelimo and Muktar Edris, the Ethiopian who denied him a triple-double at the IAAF World Championships this month, in a time of 13 minutes and 6.05 seconds.
The 34-year-old established himself as one of the all-time greatest long-distance runners by completing the 5000m and 10,000m double-double at Rio 2016, becoming just the second man to achieve the feat.
