Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai and Ethiopian Firehiwot Dado will attempt to defend their 2011 New York City Marathon titles on Nov. 3.
The New York Road Runners Association announced 25 international professional entries (full list below) that includes Mutai, Dado and reigning Olympic and world champion Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda on Thursday.
The U.S. entries were previously announced, though two-time Olympian Kara Goucher withdrew with a foot injury.
The 2012 New York City Marathon was canceled due to Hurricane Sandy.
On the women’s side, Dado’s primary competition will be 2010 New York City Marathon champion Edna Kiplagat, a two-time world champion, and 2012 Olympic silver medalist Priscah Jeptoo, both of Kenya. London Olympic champion Tiki Gelana of Ethiopia was not on Thursday’s list.
