Who Are The Favourites?

The flat profile of the course coupled with the even surface means that several world records have been set here over the years. The bet online odds suggest that there is a good chance of some new records set in the 2016 edition. Dennis Kipruto Kimetto set the world record timing of 2:02:57 for the men’s event back in 2014 while Mizuki Noguchi set a considerably long-standing record – set in 2005 – of 2:19:12.

Kenyans have been the most dominant when it comes to the Berlin marathon. The last six winners in the men’s category are from Kenya and there is a good chance of Eliud Kipchoge retaining his title. In the female’s category, Ethiopians and Kenyans have dominated the event. The best odds are likely to back winners from these two countries. Out of all of them, Kipsand is in great shape today and he stands the most chances to win / break the record again.
