3 former steeple greats running marathons this sunday

Marathons are booming more than ever.
So even former steeple greats take an attempt.
But apparantly there's no such great relation between middle distance runing and marathon running as many prognosticators nowadays seem supposing.

Wilson Boit Kipketer managed in the Frankfurt Marathon today a 16th place with a moderate 2h14.05. I found Bernard Narmasai only in the starterlist, not in the endresult. The IAAF Report did'nt mention him also.
