The 2025 Marathon Majors Series gets underway in Japan with the 18th running of the Tokyo Marathon. Traditionally attracting a strong field of elite athletes, this year is no exception. In the men’s race, Kenya’s Benson Kipruto will bid to defend his title but will face fierce competition from the likes of Ugandan middle-distance superstar Joshua Cheptegei and two-time winner Birhanu Legese of Ethiopia.
The women’s race is also shaping up to be hugely exciting as the last three winners of the event will line up in Tokyo. Ethiopia’s Sutume Asefa Kebede triumphed last year, Ethiopia’s Rosemary Wanjiru was the winner in 2023 and former world record holder Brigid Kosgei (also of Ethiopia) won in 2022. Adding extra intrigue is the fact that another former world record holder will be in action as the 51-year-old Paula Radclife attempts to roll back the years.
