World record holder Eliud Kipchoge will make his marathon debut at the 127th edition edition of the Boston Marathon that will be held in April 17, 2023.
Kipchoge, who lowered his own world record by 30 seconds to 2:01.09 Berlin Marathon, boasts an incredible career, having secured four victories apiece in the TCS London Marathon and the BMW Berlin Marathon and also triumphed at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in 2014 and the Tokyo Marathon this year 2022.
“I’m happy to announce in April I will compete in the Boston Marathon. A new chapter in my Abbott World Marathon Majors journey,” said Kipchoge.
The 38-year-old has never raced Boston, the worlds oldest that dates back to 1897, nor New York City but has repeated in recent years a desire to enter both of them.
Typically, he has run the London Marathon in the spring and the Berlin Marathon in the fall.
Kipchoge’s raced last in Unites States at the 2014 Chicago Marathon, his second of 10 consecutive marathon victories from 2014 through 2019.
The two time Olympic marathon champion will become the first reigning men’s marathon world record holder to race the Boston Marathon in more than 40 years.
