London--Britain's Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill will return from a two-year absence in the 100 metre hurdles at the Great CityGames in Manchester on May 9, organisers announced on Tuesday.
Ennis-Hill, one of the stars of the London 2012 Olympics, has not competed since 2013 due to the birth of her son, Reggie, last year.
"I'm really looking forward to making my competitive return at the Great CityGames Manchester. The atmosphere is always amazing there," Ennis-Hill said in a statement released by the event organisers.
The 100m hurdles is Ennis-Hill's strongest individual event, but the British record of 12.54 seconds that she set at London 2012 has since been broken by Tiffany Porter, who ran 12.51sec last year.
