The field also includes Precious Mashele of South Africa (1:01:48) for last year in Boulogne-Billancourt, Yismaw Ayeno of Ethiopia, who was fifth in Marseille-Cassis, and Taye Girma, whose 10km best time of 28:06 indicates he could play a leading role in what will be his half marathon debut.
In the women's race, Kenya's Parendis Lakapana will attempt to move up from her second-place showing last year.
She set a personal best time of 1:09:13 on that occasion to finish 44 seconds adrift of Rahma Tusa, who broke the course record with 1:08:29.
Two months ago Lakapana won in Krems, Austria in a time of 1:09:23, only 10 seconds outside her best time.
"I want to retain my title. But it will not be easy and that is what will make the win enjoyable," she said.
Her main opponent should be compatriot Susan Jeptoo, who clocked a best of 1:09:02 in Lille last year. This year she has set best time of 31:59 for 10km and 2:30:50 for the marathon.
