In the past 12 years, the men's race at the Berlin Marathon has produced a string of world class times with six world records into the bargain and the presence of Cherono and Cheruiyot could see them headline a show-stealing performance from the elite women in general.
"We are naturally delighted that we will be having the defending champion Cherono on the start line," said Race Director Mark Milde.
"Compared to the men, the women in Berlin have some ground to make up. With three very strong contenders in the line-up, the women's race on September 29 could be center stage."
The world marathon record stands at 2:17:01 for women only race posted by Mary Keitany back in 2017. However, Britain's Paula Radcliffe owns the overall record at 2:15:25 from 2003. Cheruiyot with a fast time of 2:18.11 says it will be enough to improve the record, but will love to take Keitany's mark along the way.
"If it falls in my strides why not. Berlin has a fast course and I will seek fast time to improve my best time. The important thing is to win the race though," she said.
