Tokyo Marathon 2024 preview
The first World Marathon Major of the year, the 2024 Tokyo Marathon, will see world-class athletes and fun runners hit the streets of Japan’s capital to tackle a 26.2-mile course that starts at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and finishes at the picturesque Tokyo Station.
Chief among them is one of the greatest marathon runners of all time, Eliud Kipchoge. The 39-year-old Kenyan will be looking to make a statement in what will be his final race before the Paris 2024 Olympics and may well look to eclipse his own course record of 2:02:40 which he set two years ago.
While Kipchoge will want to claim victory ahead of his fifth Olympics, he will come under threat from two equally quick compatriots in Vincent Kipkemoi, who finished second in Berlin last year, and Timothy Kiplagat who has a best of 2:03:50.
The women’s race has also attracted a host of top class runners, including the reigning London and Chicago Marathon champion, Sifan Hassan. The Dutch star will be making her debut in Tokyo and can expect a tough fight against the likes of last year’s winner Rosemary Wanjiru and reigning world champion Amane Beriso Shankule.
It promises to be a fascinating race in Japan and one you won’t want to miss. So read on as we explain how to watch a 2024 Tokyo Marathon live stream from anywhere.
