Kejelcha, Gebrhiwet, Cheptegei, Sawe, Kiplimo all at London Marathon (2026) - Who wins?

just glad they got the matchup to happen again along with the rest of the field, and the debut of 2 HM monsters (Kejelcha, Gebrhiwet)

The Drug store wins!

Yes, if we get *fit* Hassan showing up (ie Chicago 2023 shape) then she’ll win it.

Don’t worry, I’m running it. Going for 2:25ish. Incredible that I could have a shot at top American

No idea why you were downvoted especially as there have been many calls to ban Kenyans from road races.

Kejelcha breaks the World Record but comes 2nd.

No WR in London, not the fastest course and 2:00:35 is... well, Sawe and Kiplimo have not even broke 2:02
If Kiplimo improves the 2:01:25 from Kiptum, that would be a statement.
I hope Kiplimo runs Berlin or Valencia later this year. I can see a WR there.
Chicago is a coin toss, a rainy or windy day and f- your time expectations.

London/Berlin used to be the Kipchoge regime.

Kiplimo wins by 0.1 seconds. 2:01:22.

Sawe has been the best but I think Kiplimo’s ceiling (sub 2 in real race) is high. I think he can run under 2:01 this year.

Sawe 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

The most exciting bit will be Cairess targetting 204

Weather will play a factor. I think it clearly comes down to Sawe vs Kiplimo. I think if race situation plays out right, Cheptegei will definitely help Kiplimo as fellow Ugandans. And Kejelcha is definitely a wildcard - he may surprise everyone because he is so experienced as a runner and always puts out total effort.

Not even 2.01

Are you this dumb? Cheptegei is slowly improving. Look at Sissay Lemma

U think u are smart stating the obvious? weather is ALWAYS a factor anywhere, you DONT THINK
