Kenyan long-distance runner Sabastian Sawe will return to the United Kingdom to defend the London Marathon on April 26.
The 29-year-old is among a star-studded list confirmed for the event, which comprises a mass race for the public, professional races for men and women long-distance runners, elite-level wheelchair races for men and women, and a 3-mile mini marathon event for U-17 athletes.
Apart from Sawe, who in 2022, set a Kenyan national record in the one hour run at the Memorial Van Damme with a distance of 21,250 metres, narrowly missing the world record, other athletes expected to compete include compatriot Jacob Kiplimo, Joshua Cheptegei, Tamirat Tola and Yomif Kejelcha.
