Kenyan long-distance runner Eliud Kipchoge is set to run his first-ever marathon on African soil at the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon scheduled for May 24 in Cape Town, South Africa.
Confirming his participation, Kipchoge said the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon will serve as the opening chapter of Eliud’s Running World, a series of seven marathons across all continents designed to inspire communities and unite the world through running.
The statement read in part: “For years, it has been Kipchoge’s dream to make our world a running world. Over the next two years, Eliud sets out to run a marathon on each of the seven continents to inspire people to lead healthier lives while uniting the world through running.
