Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt<\/a> said yes to a challenge from Britain\u2019s<\/a> Olympic middle distance champion Mo Farah to run for charity.<\/p>\n

Bolt said he would be prepared to meet over 600 metres.<\/p>\n

Farah, who won gold at the 5,000 and 10,000 metres at the London Olympics last year, was the star turn of the Games along with Jamaican<\/a> sprinter Bolt, who won the 100 and 200 metres.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be great to do a distance where people vote in \u2013 proper athletics fans \u2013 on what distance they think is most suitable,\u201d Farah told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

He then turned to the camera and said: \u201cAre you up for that? Come on, you\u2019ve got to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate interview, Bolt was shown the footage and replied he would be prepared to take on the challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat sounds fun,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be hard but it\u2019s charity so it\u2019s all about fun and enjoyment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m up for anything, for anything\u2019s possible.\u201d \u2013 Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n
