As anticipated, Hoka NAZ Elite’s Alice Wright on Tuesday was named to the elite field for the 2024 London Marathon on April 21.
Wright, a Brit, no doubt will be hoping for a breakthrough race on the streets of London in hopes of securing the final spot on the Great Britain Olympic Marathon squad for the Paris Games.
Charlotte Purdue and Calli Hauger-Thackery already have been named to the team. In London, both Wright and fellow Brit Becky Briggs will try to make a case for securing the final Olympic spot. Wright’s PR is 2:29:08; Briggs 2:229:04.
Wright, who was injured earlier in the year, bounced back last week to win the Las Vegas Rock n Roll Half Marathon in 1:14:10 as part of her marathon build. BothWright and Briggs have run for Great Britain in the 2022 European Championships.
