Mark Kiptoo, who set the world 40 plus best at the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon last year, will return to Germany’s oldest city marathon for its 38th edition on October 27.
The Kenyan ran 2:07:50 12 months ago to finish sixth at this IAAF Gold Label road race while becoming the first 40+ runner to break the 2:08 barrier. At the moment, all signs suggest that the 43-year-old is capable of a further improvement this year as he aims to win the race for a second time.
