World record holder Eliud Kipchoge yesterday launched a tree planting challenge, just 43 days to his epic clash with Ethiopia’s Kenenisa Bekele in London.

Yesterday, a day after the London marathon organisers confirmed his participation, Kipchoge took part in a sub-two minutes tree planting challenge near his Global Sports Communication training camp in Kaptagat.
