The 2023 London Marathon promises to be historic, boasting what's been declared the greatest elite fields ever seen in the event's history. Race director Hugh Brasher noted the absence of women's world record holder Ruth Chepngetich, yet the women's competition remains fiercely competitive with Sifan Hassan and other top athletes. Eliud Kipchoge leads a formidable men's lineup that includes record holders, and there's excitement around Jacob Kiplimo's debut. Both course and world records carry significant financial incentives, fueling anticipation for potential groundbreaking performances during this iconic marathon.
I think it is going to be the most fascinating debut ever. Do I think he could break the two-hour barrier? Absolutely.
Despite the late withdrawal of women's world record holder Ruth Chepngetich, the women's race still features the second and third fastest athletes of all time.
This year's London Marathon showcases the greatest elite fields in its history, promising a thrilling race for both men and women.
The elite men's race features ten men who have all run marathons in under two hours and five minutes, enhancing the competition.
