“The Ultimate Guide to Eliud Kipchoge and the 2023 Boston Marathon: Meet the Contenders and Learn about the World Marathon Grand Slam”

2023-04-17 01:38:32

“Marathon Brother” Eliud Kipchoge made his Boston Marathon debut on April 17. The 38-year-old Kenyan runner won the “Six Marathon Grand Slam” championship and became the biggest focus of the event. However, this year’s Poma is described as the highest level by the outside world, and Eliud’s opponents are not ordinary people, so it deserves everyone’s attention.

Eliud Kipchoge

1. Nationality: Kenya
2. Age: 38
3. Personal best: 2:01:09 (world record)

Eliud Kipchoge is the most prominent marathon runner in recent years. He participated in the Boston Marathon for the first time. He is determined to win championships in Tokyo, Berlin, London, Chicago, Boston and New York and win the honor of “Six Marathon Grand Slams”.

The 38-year-old Eliud has entered the twilight of his running career, so the Poma championship is even more important to him.

Evans Chebet

1. Nationality: Kenya
2. Age: 34
3. Personal Best: 2:03:00

2022 will be a bumper year for him, and he will win two championships at the Poma and New York at the same time. This year, the Poma will aim to defend the title, which is exciting.

Gabriel Geay

1. Nationality: Tanzania
2. Age: 26
3. Personal Best: 2:03:00

In the Valencia Marathon in December 2022, Kelvin Kiptum won the championship with 2:01:53. Although the same Gabriel Geay participated in the marathon for the fourth time, he still broke the national record with 2:03:00. His strength cannot be ignored.

Herpasa Negasa

1. Nationality: Ethiopian
2. Age: 29
3. Personal Best: 2:03:04

The personal best time of 2:03:04 was set in the 2019 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon. The strength is absolutely top-notch, but it often loses the championship of important events.

Benson Kipruto

1. Nationality: Kenya
2. Age: 29
3. Personal Best: 2:04:24

The 2021 Poma champion, the 2022 Chicago Marathon PB champion, is at the pinnacle of his career as a runner.

Boston Marathon 2023

The Boston Marathon is the oldest marathon in the world and one of the six World Marathon Grand Slams. This year is the 127th and the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. This year, the number of applicants exceeded 23,000, which is estimated to be the largest since 2019.

• Competition Date: April 17 (Monday)
