Kenyan marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge stands to earn a substantial payday if he breaks a record at the upcoming London Marathon in April 2025.

Kipchoge, who is no stranger to breaking records, famously became the first man to run a marathon in under two hours in 2019, although the feat was not recognized because of pace-making conditions.

The 40-year-old is certainly in the twilight years of his career, but despite this, he remains a formidable force on the tracks.

The London marathon, which is among the highest-paying in the world, offers arguably his last chance at high-profile glory.
