The Tokyo Marathon 2024 is the first World Marathon Major of the year, and it’s set to be a fantastic race with the elite fields headed by two of the greatest runners of all time with Eliud Kipchoge in the men’s race and Sifan Hassan in the women’s.
Kipchoge will be aiming to break his own course record from 2022, when he ran 2hr 2min 40sec, with competition coming from Vincent Kipkemoi and Timothy Kiplagat this year. Hasan will be looking to add a third marathon major win to her resume, having won both the London Marathon and Chicago Marathon last year. She’ll have to beat last year’s Tokyo Marathon winner Rosemary Wanjiru to do so.
