Hagos Gebrhiwet is heading into uncharted territory at the 2026 Sydney Marathon, but few runners making a marathon debut arrive with a resume like his.
The Ethiopian is the second-fastest 5,000m runner in history, having clocked an Ethiopian record of 12:36.73 in 2024. He also owns a 57:41 half-marathon PB (World #4 All-Time), ranking among the fastest performances in history, giving him the kind of speed and endurance that makes his move up to 26.2 miles one of the most intriguing storylines in Sydney.

Now comes the ultimate test: the marathon. All eyes will be on whether one of the greatest 5,000m runners ever can translate his track pedigree to the roads.
