Focus on Fast Times in Frankfurt

Published by IAAF on October 28, 2016

Promising fast times and competitive racing, Tadese Tola of Ethiopia and Kenyans Mark Korir and Cybrian Kotut will aim to steal the spotlight in the men's race and Mamitu Daska the women's at the 35th Mainova Frankfurt Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race, on Sunday (30).

The weather forecast calls for good conditions, setting a likely scene for a high-class race to develop once more on the flat course beside the river Main.

Tola, Korir and Kotut are targetting a sub-2:06 performance while Daska has designs on the women's course record which would enter her into the sub-2:21 ranks.
