Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya and Ethiopia's KenenisaMarathon icons Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya and Ethiopia's Kenenisa Bekele will hold a virtual team relay marathon between June 6 and 7, which may act as a dry run to their unprecedented clash in London in October. "On June 6-7, we run as one in a worldwide virtual marathon relay. The virtual relay marathon is open to all athletics across the world. Success comes with hard work," world marathon record holder Kipchoge said. Bekele and Kipchoge will clash in the rescheduled London marathon on October 4 with Kipchoge hinting at making an attempt to break the course record, which he set in winning the 2019 race in the English capital.
