Who are the favorites to win the 2022 Tokyo Marathon?

Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge will look to open his 2022 campaign in a winning note when he lines up in the men’s race at the 2022 Tokyo Marathon. The two-time Olympic marathon champion last raced in the 26.2 mile event in Sapporo, where he won the Tokyo Games gold medal and the experienced Kenyan runner will start as the man to beat on Sunday.

At the same time, though, the field also includes some top quality runners, including Ethiopia’s Mosinet Geremew who has a PB of 2:02:55, Amos Kipruto (Kenya, 2:03:30), Tamirat Tola (Ethiopia, 2:03:39), Jonathan Korir (Kenya, 2:04:32), and Kengo Suzuki (Japan, 2:04:56).

Kenyan world record holder Brigid Kosgei, the Tokyo Olympic silver medalist, will hope to bounce back from her fourth-place finish in London, last October, when she lines up in the women’s race.

Peres Jepchirchir, the woman who defeated Kosgei to the Olympic title in Sapporo, last summer, returns to the road almost three months after claiming the New York marathon, and the 28-year-old will be trying to extend her marathon win streak to five races on Sunday.

Among the others looking to challenge the world record holder on Sunday is Kenya’s breakout star Angela Tanui, who won three marathon and a half marathon races last year, which include setting a PB of 2:17:57 in Amsterdam on 17 Oct.

Sara Hall, who set an American half marathon record in Houston in January, will be aiming for a fast time as she looks to challenge the US marathon record.
