All Up For Grabs in Sydney
It’s always difficult to predict the winner of a marathon, which is, of course, a major part of the race’s appeal.
Fans of that unpredictability are bound to enjoy the Sydney Marathon on Sunday (21) which, for the first time in the race’s history, has IAAF Silver Label Road Race status. Both the men’s and women’s fields are stacked with runners of roughly similar credentials.
The men’s field boasts three 2:06 runners, though the personal bests of Seboka Tola (2:06:17), Sisay Jisa (2:06:27) and Benjamin Kiptoo (2:06:31) date back to 2011 and 2012.
Two further entrants have sub-2:10s to their name. Another boasts strong track performances.
