Hamilton lauded Kipchoge's efforts of pushing the limits.

I know you have a big race coming up in the Berlin Marathon and I just wanted to wish you all the best. I will be watching closely. I am really inspired that you keep showing there are no limits except the ones we put on our minds. Keep dreaming. I wish you the best of luck.

Kipchoge will come up against formidable opposition in the face of Ethiopian Guye Adola, who won the title last year in Kipchoge's absence.

Former Real Madrid and AC Milan star Kaka will also be making his marathon debut. The 2002 World Cup Winner said he got his inspiration after watching his father battle with Covid-19 in hospital.

The BMW Berlin Marathon is one of the 6 Major Marathons in the world and any records set in the course are recognised by World Athletics.
