Kipchoge headlines the spring marathon races

The NN Running Team launches its spring marathon assault optimistic of a strong showing from its stable of world-class athletes.

London, April 28

The first competitive appearance of Eliud Kipchoge since the Kenyan superstar obliterated the world marathon record in Berlin last September will provide the highlight of the NN Running Team’s highly-anticipated spring marathon campaign.

Kipchoge advanced marathon running to a new stratosphere by decimating the previous world record by a staggering 78-second margin to record a career-defining 2:01:39 in Berlin.

Chasing an unprecedented fourth title in the British capital, the Kenyan superstar will face fierce opposition led by home hope Sir Mo Farah, who 12 months ago finished third, and 2018 runner-up Ethiopian Shura Kitata.

However, given Kipchoge’s remarkable streak of nine successive marathon victories, which includes seven Marathon Majors and the Olympic title, the incomparable Kenyan will start a firm favourite in London to add to his stunning winning sequence.

Bolstering the NNRT challenge in London will be Mule Wasihun, who last October set a PB of 2:04:37 on his way to second in the Amsterdam Marathon. On his most recent competitive appearance, the Ethiopian trimmed 10 seconds from his half marathon PB – to run 59:34 in Ras Al Khaimah – and he has the credentials to claim a podium spot.

Also competing in the distinctive white NNRT singlet is Belgian Bashir Abdi, who last year ran 2:10:46 for seventh on his marathon debut in Rotterdam.

The NNRT will also mount a strong threat in the women’s race in London as the improving Ethiopian Tadelech Bekele, who last year claimed third in the streets of the British capital in a PB of 2:21:40, will once again be hunting a place on the dais.

Rotterdam, April 7

The first major assignment for the NNRT during the spring marathon season will witness the return to action of Dutch distance-runner Abdi Nageeye.

Nageeye endured a mixed 2018 campaign but after setting a Dutch half-marathon record of 60:24 in Marugame, Japan in February he is clearly in great shape.

Another interesting NNRT entrant is marathon debutant Josphat Boit. Last year the Kenyan blitzed to a half-marathon PB in 59:19 in Verbania and memorably paced Kipchoge for the first 25km en route to his marathon world record.

The most prominent NNRT athlete in the women’s race is the hugely exciting Ashete Bekere. Last year the Ethiopian made a massive breakthrough setting a PB of 2:21:14 to win the Valencia Marathon and she will be among the favourites in the Dutch port city.

Paris, April 14

The following weekend Selly Chepyego will hope to take another step forward in her rapidly developing career when she lines up for the Paris Marathon.
