NN Running Team athletes will be among the runners at the 2018 Berlin Marathon on Sunday, 16 September. One of the favourites to win is Olympic and two-time Berlin marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya.
Eliud is the world’s pre-eminent marathon runner. He aims to build on his record of nine wins from ten career marathons as he seeks to defend his Berlin marathon crown. He has spoken publicly of his desire to lower his marathon personal best of 2:03:05 – just 8 seconds shy of the current world record mark. Competing on the world’s fastest course gives him every opportunity to achieve his target as he seeks a third victory in Berlin.
Eliud is joined in the German capital city by his NN Running Team colleague Abera Kuma. The 27-year-old Ethiopian raced to a personal best of 2:05:50 for second in the 2018 NN Marathon Rotterdam and he will be hoping to make his mark.
We wish the NN Running Team athletes and all runners the best of luck in reaching their personal goals at the Berlin Marathon!
