Meet Wilson Kipsang: Former WR Holder, Top Berlin Marathon Contender
This Sunday, Kenya's Wilson Kipsang will race Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele at the 2017 Berlin Marathon LIVE on FloTrack (in more than 100 countries!) in an attempt to break the world record of 2:02:57, set in Berlin in 2014 by Dennis Kimetto. Read the race preview here. See the full list of countries where the stream is available here.

Get to know Kipsang with the FloFilm Driven series from 2015, when he was preparing to race Kimetto at the 2015 London Marathon. Barely two years earlier, Kipsang had broken the world record with a 2:03:23 win at the 2013 Berlin Marathon only to see it go down the following year. FloTrack went to Kenya to film this inside look at the training and lifestyle of one of the world's best marathoners of all time.
