Former world marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge will be in action at Sunday's Tokyo Marathon and here is how you can watch him live in action.
Five-time Berlin Marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge will be returning to the streets of Tokyo for Sunday’s Tokyo Marathon.
Kipchoge won the 2022 edition of the marathon and he returns with the hope of replicating his performance. He also won his second Olympic gold medal on the streets of Sapporo at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
He will enjoy the company of Vincent Kipkemoi Ngetich and Timothy Kiplagat and the race will surely be an emotional occasion after the passing of world record holder Kelvin Kiptum earlier in February.
