The organizers of the Feb. 1 Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon announced the names of this year's domestic and international elite fields on Jan. 15. 

Defending champion Abraham Kiplimo (Uganda) returns to lead an overseas contingent of four. 

On the Japanese side, 2013 runner-up Kentaro Nakamoto (Team Yasukawa Denki) and 2011 Tokyo Marathoner Yoshinori Oda (Team Toyota) are scheduled to run. 

This year's Beppu-Oita will count in the selection procedure for the 2015 Beijing World Championships marathon team.
