Kenya’s marathon world record holder, Eliud Kipchoge, will make his Boston Marathon debut on April 17 next year.
“I’m happy to announce in April; I will compete in the Boston Rio and Tokyo Olympic champions. “A new chapter in my Abbott World Marathon Majors journey.”

The 38-year-old has already won four of the six events in the World Marathon Majors series, but he has yet to win in Boston or New York City to complete the set.
Evans Chebet will return in 2023 to defend his title against Kipchoge. Other entrants include 2021 winner Benson Kipruto and two-time champion Lelisa Desisa (2013 and 2015).
“To be a champion in Boston is something very special, and for me it has even more meaning because it took me quite some time during my career to be competitive enough to finally win the oldest marathon in the world,” said Chebet.
“I can’t wait to be back and to enjoy the great atmosphere of such a unique and historical race!”
