Kenenisa Bekele added to the list of All-Stars in London Marathon

The second fastest marathon runner on the planet, Kenenisa Bekele has been added to the four of the five fastest marathon men in history to go head-to-head in mouth-watering 43rd edition of the London Marathon that will be held on April 23, 2023 in London.

This year’s race has pulled out all the stops to put together one of the greatest men’s line-ups of all time. When it comes to the cream de la cream of marathon runners on the planet, only Eliud Kipchoge, will be missing from the race as he will be racing in Boston.

The 40 year-old will have to get past the World bronze medallist and defending champion, Amos Kipruto and the the fastest debutant in history of marathon Kelvin Kiptum.

The deep elite field also has the reigning world champion, Tamirat Tola and the British record-holder and 10-time global track champion, Mo Farah.
