Jonathan Edwards introduces highlights from the Adidas Women's 5km Challenge 2009 which took place in Hyde Park. The 2008 race saw Olympic bronze medallist Meseret Defar from Ethiopia outpace her rivals to win the race for the second year in a row, with Britain's Jo Pavey coming third. While the elite runners battle it out at the front of the field, thousands of fun runners will be following in their wake, raising large sums for charity. Commentary by Steve Cram.
