Queen Suthida and the two-time Olympic marathon champion Kipchoge are set to run together at the Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok on Sunday (November 30). Thousands of runners will participate in marathon, half-marathon, 10k and 4.5k events at the Bangkok race.  41-year-old Kipchoge became the first person to run a marathon in under two hours in 2019, an achievement likened to the moon landing, though the attempt was not recognised as an official record as it did not adhere to World Athletics rules for open competition. Kipchoge last competed professionally at the New York City Marathon at the beginning of the month, finishing 17th in a time of 2:14:36. (Production: Stefan Haskins)
