All eyes will be on Tokyo, Japan, on Sunday, March 2, as a contingent of talented Kenyan runners compete for millions at the Tokyo Marathon - the first of the 2025 World Marathon Majors.
The favourite to clinch the win is probably Kenya's Benson Kipruto, who is aiming to become the first Kenyan to win back-to-back Tokyo Marathons.
The last man to achieve this was Ethiopia's Birhanu Legese in 2019 and 2020.
Kipruto has the credentials, as in 2024, he made his mark on the world stage by not only winning the marathon but also breaking Eliud Kipchoge's previous record by 24 seconds.
