 De la Osssa broke Spain's national 10k road running record in 2005 |
Spain's Juan Carlos de la Ossa has confirmed that he will defend his Great Edinburgh Run 10k title on 7 May. The 29-year-old, who also won the European Cross Country silver medal in the city in 2003, beat Uganda's Boniface Kiprop to win last year.
"Everyone is delighted Juan is returning and I know he is determined to keep the title in Spanish hands," said race director Matthew Turnbull.
"If the conditions are right he can lower his course record this year."
