London Marathon ‘Best Filed’ Ever!
It’s been a week of reflection and prediction in the build-up to the 2014 Virgin Money London Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race, which takes place on Sunday (13).
The traditionally stellar fields of proven stars have been supplemented by a pair of intriguing debutants, and the most prestigious pacemaker ever to set off from south east London.
Having, yet again, put together two elite line-ups to match any in the history of marathon racing, the organisers have thrown in extra spice for the British public in the shape of marathon neophyte Mo Farah, and added intrigue for global track fans with the presence of another 26.2-mile first-timer, Tirunesh Dibaba.
