Yesterday, race organizers released the full fields for next weekend’s NN Mission Marathon featuring Eliud Kipchoge that will take place at the Twente Airport in Enschede, The Netherlands.

Kipchoe is heavily favored to win but there are 5 other men who have broken 2:07 in the field and 5 more that have broken 2:10:00.  The full men’s field appears below.

Note, despite what the graphic above says, the race isn’t the debut for Augstine Choge. He was a DNF in Chicago in 2018 but his entry is interesting as the former 1:44 800 runner has said in the past he thinks he was in 2:07 shape for Chicago.

MB: Augustine Choge is making his marathon debut in Chicago — who is the fastest marathoner who has broken 1:45 in the 800?

The fastest entrant in the women’s field is 41-year old Madai Perez of Mexico but her PB dates from 2006. She ran 2:30:15 in December in Valencia.
