Runners competing in the 2011 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon will once again rub shoulders with the running elite on a new starting line for the biggest running event in the region.
Kenyan athlete Eliud Kiptanui is set to continue his meteoric rise with a debut appearance at the 2011 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon on January 21.
He may have hung up his running shoes but Haile Gebrselassie will always be welcome at the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon according to event director Peter Connerton.
