Six-time Paralympic gold medallist David Weir
heads a six-strong Great Britain and Northern Ireland team for the
marathon race at the IPC World Championships.
The 26.2 mile route will be staged on
Sunday, 26 April at the London Marathon in advance of the IPC World
Championships in Doha this October.
Weir is a six-time winner of the London race
and finished second to Switzerland's Marcel Hug last year before injury
forced him out of the European Championship in Swansea.
He will be joined by London 2012 marathon
silver medallist Shelly Woods as well as Jade Jones, Rob Smith, Derek
Rae and Simon Lawson.
