The 2024 Tokyo Marathon promises to be an emotional occasion for Eliud Kipchoge, as it will be his last event before devoting himself to the Olympics and the first major world marathon event to be held since the unexpected death of world record holder Kelvin Kiptam three weeks ago.

With a VPN, you can watch the Tokyo Marathon from anywhere and for free. [39-year-old Kiptam vs. Kipchoge must be thinking of 24-year-old Kipchoge as he runs the familiar 26.2 miles from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to the Tokyo International Exhibition Center.

Kipchoge set a Tokyo Marathon record two years ago when she won in the Japanese capital, and will be accompanied by fellow Kenyans Timothy Kiplagat, Kipkemoi Vincent, and Benson Kipruto in the 2024 event.

Sifan Hassan is the favorite to win the women's race. The Dutch native was a dominant force in the middle-distance events for a decade before switching to the marathon last year, winning the two races she entered and posting the second fastest time in history in the process. Can Tokyo champion Rosemary Wanjiru and world champion Amane Beliso keep up?
