On Sunday, Gladys Cherono will attempt to write another chapter of history in Germany's biggest road race, the BMW Berlin Marathon.
Having broken the course record last year, Cherono is now eyeing a fourth triumph in the German city, which would give her more wins than any other female runner.
Her ultimate goal is to break her own course record of 2:18:11, set in 2019.
Meanwhile, Kenyan elites will defend their title in the men's race, with Eliud Kipchoge's world record of 2:01:39 set last year still to be beaten.
However, Kipchoge will not be defending his title, as he prepares to run a sub-two hour marathon in Vienna next month.
Attention will be on Felix Kandie and Jonathan Korir, with pressure from Ethiopia's Kenenisa Bekele.
Bank of Africa is hosting a marathon viewing session at Toby's Tavern Hotel in Eldoret, in conjunction with DStv, to support local athletes and promote sports development.
The session will also serve as a platform to educate athletes on investment, anti-doping matters, and tax legislation.
"Bank of Africa Kenya believes that Kenyan athletes are an integral part of the country's heritage," said Bank of Africa's head of marketing, Jimmi Wanjohi.
