The cover photo of this year's annual is of Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge, the greatest marathon runner of all-time. In April last year he won the London Marathon for the third time, eclipsing this in Berlin in September when he broke the world record with a time of 2:01:39, taking one minute 18 seconds off the previous best. As usual the annual is packed with essential information for the track and field fan, with results from all major championships as well as a reports of the World Championship and a look forward to the 2018 Commmonwealth Games and European Championships.
