Eliud Kipchoge, the world marathon record holder, will spend this weekend at the Maasai Mara National Reserve to witness the Great annual wildebeest migration. This is even as he prepares for the London Marathon, tentatively scheduled to take place in October. The event, which will be broadcast live on social media platforms, coincides with the date which would have been the 2020 Olympic marathon weekend; which has since been postponed to next year. Kipchoge would have been in Japan this weekend defending his Olympic marathon title but will instead be watching a different type of marathon across the Mara River.
The event will be graced by among other dignitaries Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala and will see Kipchoge do a light training session in the Mara as part of his preparations for the London Marathon.
