Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge will return to the London Marathon in 2018 after a year’s absence, resuming his quest for a third victory in the event, organisers said yesterday.

The 33-year-old won the 2015 race and finished eight seconds outside Dennis Kimetto’s world record of 2:02:57 to triumph again last year, but he did not defend his title this year after focusing on the Nike Breaking2 project in May.
