Der 10. Tokyo Marathon am 28. Februar 2016 und sein Elitefeld

Dicht auf den Fersen des Virgin Money London Marathon – wie Brett Larner aus Japan schreibt – gab jetzt der Race Director des Tokyo Marathon Tadaaki Hayana, auch das Elitefeld des Tokyo Marathon bekannt, der am 28. Februar 2016 sein 10-jähriges Jubilum feiert.

Schritt für Schritt verbessert der Tokyo Marathon seine Qualität in Bezug auf Weltklassezeiten und Tadaaki Hayana meint das beste Elitefeld überhaupt in diesem Jahr verpflichtet zu haben.

Sechs Männer unter 2:06 werden in Tokyo am Start sein. An der Spitze von den Bestzeiten her Emmanuel Mutai (Kenya) – 2:03:13 (Berlin 2014, dann dahinter Dickson Chumba (Kenya) – 2:04:32 (Chicago 2014).

Bei den Frauen führt die Liste Edna Kiplagat (Kenya) – 2:20:21 (London 2014) an vor Aberu Kebede (Ethiopia) – 2:20:48 (Berlin 2015).

Interessant ist der Start von Maja Neuenschwander (Switzerland) – 2:26:49 (Berlin 2015).
