BERLIN (GER): Eric Kiptanui will return to defend his Berlin Half-marathon title on 7 April, while world indoor 1500m champion Sifan Hassan heads the women’s elite field. She even wants to attack the existing World record 64:51 by Joyciline Jepkosgei in October 2017 in Valencia. Kiptanui clocked 58:42 in last year’s event, while Hassan set a European record of 65:15 in Copenhagen in September. Also in the field will be Germany’s Richard Ringer, who will make his debut at the distance, and Philipp Pflieger, who ran 63:14 in the event last year.
