Johannes, 41, won the women’s race at the Commonwealth Games 2018 in Australia and she will be aiming to repeat her gold medal-winning performance against a field that is starving just as much for success.
The Namibian who is the 2019 World Championships bronze medalist from Doha, owns a personal best of 2:19:52 which is the fastest among all the starters in the field.
Maurine Chepkemoi and Stella Barsosio of Kenya and Australia’s Sinead Diver are also on the list of entrants confirmed to race in the women’s race.
Chepkemoi has a season-best of 2:21:10 and will certainly be one of the top challengers for the gold medal.
