He will be aiming to regroup from a sub-par 2017 season in which he finished a distant 12th at the Boston Marathon, clocking 2:16:47. He did not finish the World Championship race in London, his most recent outing.
Others to watch include Kenyan Lani Rutto, whose 2:06:34 marks him as one of the field's fastest. But the 28-year-old hasn't come close to that 2017 effort from Frankfurt since.
He did not finish May's Prague Marathon, his only attempt at the distance this year.
The field also includes Amanuel Mesel of Eritrea, who has a personal best of 2:08:17 from 2013, and Sondre Moen, the Norwegian record holder at 2:10:07. Daichi Kamino, a 1:01:04 half marathoner who excelled at the Hakone Ekiden earlier this year, will be making his eagerly anticipated debut.
