We just received an email from an LRC visitor whom we trust as he's been right on the money in the past.

Quick note from Tokyo:
Geoffrey Mutai will not start because of injury. According to his manager Gerard van de Veen, this was already decided some weeks ago, but the organizers have not announced his withdrawal from Sundays race.
Kind regards

We were about to say treat this as 95% certain as we haven't been able to confirm it but then we looked at the email again and David Monti has sent an email confirming it

Geoffrey Mutai. Is out of the Tokyo Marathon. I am not sure why this was not announced earlier...
Best,
Mutai himself sent out a tweet last week about running the Prague Half on March 28.
