The first race of the 2024 Grand Slam, the Tokyo Marathon, started today..
Led by male elite athlete Kipchak, he once ran a track record of 2 hours, 02 minutes, and 40 seconds here in 2022, competing again with the aim of winning the championship!.
Among female athletes, Hassan is the biggest attraction. She has won championships in her first two marathons, with Tokyo Marathon being the top seed for women. Japanese athlete Renmei Niigata has expressed her desire to break the Japanese record..
The target pace for the first group of male contestants today is 2 minutes and 52 seconds, with a completion goal of 2 hours, 00 minutes and 58 seconds. The women’s first group pace target is 3 minutes and 11 seconds, and the race completion target is 2 hours, 14 minutes and 19 seconds..

15 kilometers took 42 minutes and 52 seconds, and the speed dropped slightly from 5 kilometers. Segmentation took 14 minutes and 22 seconds, and another person fell behind. There are still 7 people left in the first group. But at this time, leading the world record by 17 seconds, we all know that Kipchak broke the world record because the second half was much faster than the first half. Today, it depends on Kipchak’s ability in the second half..
