On the men’s side, the seven fastest entrants have all run under the 2:06:01 course record in the past three years, making a new record highly likely. Ronald Korir, Bethwel Kibet, and Boniface Kimutai headline the field, while Japanese national record holder Kengo Suzuki sits at #4, looking for a strong performance. Naoki Koyama, last year’s Paris Olympic Trials winner, is the top Japanese contender behind Suzuki with a 2:06:33 PB from Osaka 2024.
