NEW YORK (Reuters) -Eliud Kipchoge is hoping to leave a lasting legacy in sport when he crosses the finish line at next month’s New York City Marathon.
The 40-year-old, widely considered the greatest marathon runner of all time, is the only man to have run the 26.2-mile distance in under two hours and has claimed two Olympic gold medals along with a record 11 wins across the World Marathon Majors.
