By AYUMBA AYODIMore by this AuthorAn epic battle is in the offing when world marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge takes on rival Kenenisa Bekele at the London Marathon in April. Geremew and Wasihun pushed the legendary Kipchoge to the limits at the London Marathon. WORLD RECORDKipchoge set a new World Marathon record when he won Berlin Marathon in 2:01 39 in 2018 but Bekele nealry broke the record last year on the same course. The Ethiopian great, who is the current world record holder for both the 5000m and 10000m, finished just two seconds outside Kipchoge’s world record. We are thrilled we have been able to make it happen in London,” said Hugh Brasher, event Director of the Virgin Money London Marathon, on their website.
