Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge (2nd L) is surrounded by pace runners as he passes the 22km mark in the men's race of the Berlin Marathon on September 24, 2023 in Berlin, Germany.
While Kipchoge has aspirations of winning all the World Marathon Majors, including Boston and New York, his legendary status is already secure with multiple victories in Berlin, London, Chicago, and Tokyo.
For now, his focus on promoting running in Thailand signals his dedication to leaving a legacy that extends beyond race victories.
Muay Thai, deeply woven into Thailand’s history, stands proudly as the country’s beloved martial arts and national sport. Alongside it, football, volleyball, and badminton maintain strong popularity within the country.
However, distance running may soon see a surge in Thailand, thanks to a visit by one of the world’s greatest marathoners, Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge.
