Peninah Arusei will return to the BIG 25 Berlin as the defending champion on Sunday. The Kenyan won the race, which famously finishes inside the Olympic Stadium, with a course record of 1:24:10 a year ago.
As announced earlier, Kenya´s legend Paul Tergat will compete in this traditional 25km race, which in 1981 was Germany’s first major international city road race.
For Tergat, it will be the first time he will run a race in Germany since setting a world marathon record of 2:04:55 in Berlin in 2003.
The race will be started in front of the Olympic Stadium on Sunday.
Organisers expect around 9,000 entries for their race, which will also include a 10km race, a 5x5 km relay and a children’s race.
