Comment: Date request: 23 April 2023 (day of event), as this is more than 6 weeks from today, I will request consensus for this date request at
WT:DYK. All hooks can be changed from "today's London Marathon" to "the 2023 London Marathon" if not run on that date. Will re-check nearer the time whether ALT0 is still valid (as it may not be if runners withdraw)

Comment Alt 1 is a pretty dull hook imo, I'd prefer to see 0 or 2.

Everything looks good. New enough, long enough, well written and cited. Earwig not working for me, but have no reason to expect issues. QPQ done. The only edit I suggest is to replace some commas with semicolons per
MOS:SEMICOLON and to add closing commas when a pair is needed per
MOS:COMMA. Never reviewed DYK for a future event before – I guess the article will be heavily edited on the day of with the results. As for hooks, I agree that ALT1 is least interesting; I prefer ALT2 to ALT0 (Kipchoge could've made it more historic), but both hooks are accurate and cited.

Promoting ALT0 as it is more descriptive about what is interesting regarding the marathon. ALT1 and ALT2 were not interesting or descriptive about the event.
