Jared's chances are looking pretty good as he is also the only American male in the race (note to Jared: "finish race, collect 1st American sponsor incentive check"). We're pulling for them to score first American. Heartbreak favorites Jared Ward and Molly Seidel will both be out there too. Brigid Kosgei, who broke the marathon world record by 1:21 last year in Chicago, is also lacing up for this one on the women's side. The two best men's distance runners of all-time, Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele, who boast race times of 2:01:39 & 2:01:41 respectively will go head to head on this fast, looping course. But, we can say it's quality over quantity here. Due to COVID-19, the race is limited to elites only and very small fields at that. The Virgin Money London Marathon kicks off Sunday morning with the women's race at 2:15AM EDT, men at 5:15AM EDT, & wheelchair athletes start at 8:15AM EDT. How fast will it go? What am I talking about? We have a big time international marathon happening this weekend! Not only that, it's THE SHOWDOWN OF THE AGES! Goat v Goat in the men's race and straight untouchable GOAT in the women's race.
