A stellar field has been assembled, and when the big shots line up on Saturday, February 18, two Kenyan women - World Marathon silver medallist Judith Korir and double World 5,000m champion Hellen Obiri will feature prominently.

The Kenyan duo will be returning to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to claim victory in the women's half marathon after a display of superb racing last year.
