Sawe took his first two races at the classic distance in impressive style and now wants to make the next step. He is the favourite, but there is a strong field ready to challenge him. Among his rivals will be the defending champion Milkesa Mengesha of Ethiopia. No fewer than ten athletes are on the start list who feature personal bests of sub 2:05:00. This strength in depth is unique in the history of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON.<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 14.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">With over 55,000 entries from 160 nations the 51st BMW BERLIN-MARATHON will once again be among the world\u2019s biggest marathons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 14.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">Can Sabastian Sawe follow in the footsteps of Eliud Kipchoge in Berlin and how fast can he run? Kenya&#8217;s running legend Kipchoge has won the BMW BERLIN MARATHON five times, setting two world records in the process: he ran 2:01:39 in 2018 and 2:01:09 in 2022. It is this course record set by Kipchoge that Sabastian Sawe wants to challenge on Sunday, provided the weather does not turn too warm. If he attacks Kipchoge\u2019s mark, the world record of 2:00:35 would not be too far away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 14.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u201cI am in good shape. Berlin has the fastest course, so I want to run fast here,\u201c said 30-year-old Sabastian Sawe, who clocked 2:02:05 in Valencia last December and became the fifth fastest runner of all time in his debut marathon. In April Sawe also took the prestigious London Marathon with 2:02:27 and again heads the current list of the fastest times in the year. He already has very good experiences from a road race in the German capital: In 2023 Sabastian Sawe won the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON. His Italian coach Claudio Berardelli as well as his manager Eric Lilot say that Sabastian Sawe is in exceptionally good shape. However what is possible on Sunday in Berlin will also depend on the weather. Currently relatively warm temperatures between 19 and 21 Celsius are forecasted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 14.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">A year ago Milkesa Mengesha celebrated the greatest triumph of his career at the 50th BMW BERLIN MARATHON. The Ethiopian was the surprise winner of the anniversary race and improved his personal best to an impressive 2:03:17. \u201cI am better prepared than I was a year ago and hope to run faster,\u201c said the 25-year-old. Gabriel Geay is the second fastest runner on the start list with his Tanzanian national record of 2:03:00. \u201cI am happy to have the chance to compete in Berlin. I think I can run a personal best,\u201c said Gabriel Geay. Japan&#8217;s Kengo Suzuki also wants to attack his own national record of 2:04:56.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 14.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">The organisers of the BMW BERLIN MARATHON intend to further strengthen their position as the fastest marathon in the world. To determine this ranking, the average of the ten fastest times ever run in a race is calculated. The BMW BERLIN MARATHON tops the list with 2:02:33.8 and has been in this position since 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 14.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">Germans Pfeiffer, Hendel and Welday aim for sub 2:07 times<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 14.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">Hendrik Pfeiffer returns to the BMW BERLIN MARATHON in top shape. The 32-year-old set two personal bests in the last two months: first he won the adidas runners City Night 10k race in Berlin with 28:27, then he clocked 61:28 at the half marathon in Larne, Northern Ireland. \u201cMy training was really good and for the first time ever I had no problems at all. I am in the best shape of my life. My goal is to run under 2:07:00,\u201c said Hendrik Pfeiffer, who currently is the fourth fastest German of all times with his PB of 2:07:14.<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 14.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">Sebastian Hendel, who competes for the Marathon Team Berlin that is associated with the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, produced a surprise a year ago when he was the fastest German in Berlin with a PB of 2:07:33. \u201cI was able to train well in the summer. Of course it depends a bit on the weather, but I am optimistic to run a personal best and would like to go sub 2:07:00,\u201c said the 29-year-old, who is fifth on the German all-time list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 14.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">Haftom Welday and Johannes Motschmann, another athlete of Marathon Team Berlin, could also produce fine performances, going into the race with personal bests of 2:08:24 and 2:10:39 respectively. \u201cI am well prepared, hoping for a steady race and a finishing time of under 2:07:00,\u201c said Haftom Welday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 12.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: black;\">Elite Men for the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; min-height: 12.0px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">Sabastian Sawe KEN 2:02:05 1.
