The double Olympic champion was asked the one person he would love to race with, either dead or alive and he settled on Obama as Marca reports.

I think I would choose Barack Obama. I would invite him to Kenya to run.
The reason is that Barack Obama has a character of inspiration, a character of unity, and he is beyond all human nature.

Obama served as US President for two terms before exiting office in 2017. He has Kenyan roots, having been born to a Kenyan father.

Kipchoge is currently racing at the Berlin Marathon, hoping to lower his World Record of 2:01:39 even further.
