News Berlin Sawe returns to Berlin Sabastian Sawe - the fastest marathon runner in history - will defend his BWM BERLIN-MARATHON title in September. The Kenyan shocked the world when he ran 1:59:30 at the TCS London Marathon in April and all eyes will be in the Berlin clock to see if that time will be lowered. Sawe won in Berlin last year, coasting clear to win in 2:02:16, defying the unseasonably hot weather to set a world-leading time. The 31-year-old has won all four marathons he has run and few would bet against him extending that remarkable sequence to five in the German capital. Sabastian Sawe made history in London “I am very happy to return to BMW BERLIN-MARATHON and to defend my title," he said. "Many people may be wondering what my goals are this time round. After coming off my win in London and sub-two performance, I can only say that, like always, I plan to prepare myself to the best of my ability and to come to Berlin to honor this great event and organization which have invited me, and to run as well and fast as possible. "Then on the day we will see what will happen. I look at again experiencing the fantastic atmosphere and crowds that line the course."
