In a surprising turn of events, the upcoming 50th edition of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON will not feature the renowned names of Eliud Kipchoge or Kenenisa Bekele. However, this absence does not dampen the excitement surrounding the elite men’s field, as it presents an opportunity for a new star to emerge.
One name that stands out on the start list is Kibiwott Kandie, a potential future marathon superstar from Kenya. With an impressive personal best of 57:32 in the half marathon, Kandie has already proven his incredible speed and endurance. Now, he aims to make his mark in the full marathon distance.
While the absence of Kipchoge and Bekele may disappoint some fans hoping for world records to be broken, Kandie’s presence injects a fresh element of anticipation. Could he be the next record-breaker in the marathon world?
The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, known for hosting multiple world records over the years, expects a record-breaking number of participants exceeding 50,000. This milestone for the event reflects the growing popularity and global appeal of marathon running.
As the 50th edition approaches, all eyes will be on Kibiwott Kandie as he steps up to the challenge. The potential for extraordinary fast times and a new chapter in Kenyan marathon dominance is palpable. Excitement fills the air as spectators and participants eagerly await the race day on September 29th. Will Kandie rise to the occasion and etch his name in marathon history? Only time will tell.
