The 2020 London Marathon Organizers released the men's and women's elite athlete's fields.
This year's London marathon will have only elite athletes races while the mass participation has been canceled due to coronavirus fears.
The highlights of the 2020 London Marathon are clashes between distance running giants Eliud Kipchoge and Ekenisa Bekele in the men's race and Brigid Kosgei vs Ruth Chepngetich in the women's race.
The race will take place in a closed-loop circuit around St James’s Park in central London with the iconic finish on The Mall remaining the same as in previous years.
