Olympic Games fifth placer Volha Mazuronak will run Düsseldorf

The top European finisher in the 2016 women’s Olympic Marathon will be on the start line in Düsseldorf: Volha Mazuronak, who finished fifth in Rio, will run the METRO Marathon Düsseldorf on April 29. The world-class runner from Belarus should start as the women’s favourite while the addition of Japan’s Hideyuki Ikegami brings another leading runner to the men’s field.

This year’s METRO Marathon Düsseldorf will be the first to incorporate the German championships where the focus will also be on achieving qualifying times and possible selection for the European Athletics Championships in Berlin in August. Last year around 16,000 runners took part in the various events in Düsseldorf and organisers reckon on a similar number for the latest edition. Entries remain open for the 16th edition of the METRO Marathon Düsseldorf and for more information go to: www.metro-marathon.de

The strong favourite for the women’s title is the Belrussian Volha Mazuronak who has a German coach in Wolfgang Heinig and made headlines as the top European finisher with her fifth place in the 2016 Olympic Marathon in Rio. She had already caused a surprise by finishing fourth in the London Marathon in April that year, setting what remains her personal best of 2:23:54. These performances clearly suggest that she could put the Düsseldorf course record under pressure. It is currently in the possession of the Kenyan Agnes Barsosio who ran 2:25:49 in 2012. The 28-year-old Mazuronak has already run under 2:26 three times in her career and was faster than the race record on each occasion. A few days ago she showed good form at the World Half Marathon Championships, clocking a national record of 70:57 for 18th place.

The women’s race in Düsseldorf will also set up a contest between the winners of the past two years and feature Portugal against Hungary. The Portuguese Doroteia Alves Peixoto won twelve months ago, setting her personal best of 2:32:00 beside the River Rhein. Hungary’s Zsofia Erdelyi won in 2016 with what is still her personal best of 2:35:37.

Talks continue with the aim of adding to the men’s field but one guaranteed addition is the Japanese Hideyuki Ikegami whose best is 2:13:41. Among his rivals for this year’s METRO Marathon Düsseldorf will be the Kenyan Edwin Kiptoo who has a best of 2:11:24.

German Championships in Düsseldorf offer tantalising prospects for debutants

Among the contenders for the German title is a marathon debutant in Philipp Baar who has already caused a surprise in winning the 2017 national Half Marathon title in Hanover with 64:57. Olympic marathon runner Julian Flügel has had to withdraw because of injury, leaving the way for possibly two more debutants to emerge into the reckoning: Ramdane Cherif and Tobias Blum, whose best half marathon times are 64:53 and 65:42 respectively.

The women’s race for the German title has the makings of a duel between Fabienne Amrhein and Franziska Reng. They both made their marathon debuts last year and finished in 2:34:14 and 2:34:57 respectively.

Further information including registration for entries can be found online at: www.metro-marathon.de
