The Fukuoka International Marathon organizers announced Nov. 14 that three-time London Marathon winner Martin Lel (Kenya), with a best time of 2:05:15, and five other overseas athletes have been added to the elite field for the Dec. 2 race.

 The other late additions include London Olympics marathoner Scott Overall (Great Britain), Canadian 10000 m national record holder Simon Bairu and Americans Tim Nelson, Ryan Vail, and Brent Vaughan.

All six athletes were scheduled to run the New York City Marathon which was cancelled after a major hurricane hit the east coast of the United States.
