uongo!… one thing you can’t do is lie to Kenyans about racing . Let me educate you .. that marathon is classified as a Gold level which is second tier . That’s why no top level Kenyan pay attention to it. Only the beginners or not the best Kenyans would participate in such a marathon.
The best paying marathons are called Abbott World major’s Platinum level and are 7 of them:
Tokyo
Sydney
Berlin
London
Boston
New York
Chicago
These are the only top tier marathons in the world and it’s where Kenyans focus and dominate. They pay millions of dollars in appearance fees, sponsorship and prizes. If any Tanzanian win one of these then come back and talk to me. Otherwise We will let you continue winning the scraps . You will one day get to the Major platinum level 🤣🤣🤣

DAEGU MARATHON
Which marathon has the highest prize money?
While amateur runners enjoy the ambience at big city marathons in the hunt for personal best times, top international athletes fight not only for the top places but also for important prize money.
After all, the prize money at marathons is vital, especially for the numerous world-class runners from Africa. For them, the city marathons are not about the atmosphere along the course or the sights, but about the fight against the clock and the competition.
Prize money for placing; bonuses for records and limits
Only the fastest athletes in the field are rewarded with attractive prize money that allows the long-term pursuit of the sport as a profession. World records, course records and time bonuses can significantly increase the prize money.Up to 500,000 US dollars for the marathon world record
The biggest marathons in the world reward a marathon victory with 100,000 US dollars or even a little more. For world records, some organizers are even willing to pay up to half a million US dollars.These marathons pay out very high prize money:
1) Boston Marathon prize money
The world's oldest marathon attracts top international athletes with record-breaking prize money. Although no marathon world records are possible at the Boston Marathon due to the point-to-point course, victory is nevertheless rewarded with $150,000 each. The runner-up and the runner-up can comfort themselves with half of the winner's bonus. For third place there is 40,000 US dollars and even for 10th place an "allowance" of 5,500 US dollars is paid out. The winners of the wheelchair classification will be rewarded with 25,000 US dollars.For a time under the course record there is an additional 50,000 US dollars. Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot has become a rich man as a result of the Boston Marathon. The runner from Kenya earned around 500,000 US dollars from his four victories (2003, 2006, 2007, 2008).
In total, the runners are guaranteed prize money of more than 700,000 U.S. dollars.

2) Dubai Marathon prize money
The winner and female winner of the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon were each awarded US$200,000 in 2018. For a marathon world record at that time, there would have been a whopping bonus of $100,000. So in total, a marathon world record in Dubai would have been worth US$300,000. In 2008, the Dubai Marathon was even announced with prize money of 245,000 U.S. dollars each for the winner and the winner - the highest value of all time. At that time, a world record would have been worth half a million US dollars.In 2019, however, Dubai reduced the bonuses by more than half in some cases. Instead of 816,000 U.S. dollars, the top 10 received a total of only 385,000 U.S. dollars, including 100,000 U.S. dollars for each day's victory.
The world record bonus is not impossible in Dubai, by the way. For example, in 2019 winner Getaneh Molla from Ethiopia ran 2:03:34 hours, not even two minutes above the world record of Eliud Kipchoge (2:01:39 hours).

3) Prize money New York City Marathon
The TCS New York City Marathon is not even close to being one of the fastest marathons in the world, but in terms of prize money, New York is one of the big players. Around 670,000 US dollars in prize money are on offer, of which the winner and the runner-up are each rewarded with just under 100,000 US dollars.Another 50,000 U.S. dollars will be added to the prize money for run times under 2:05:30 hours (men) and under 2:22:30 hours (women). This is a difficult task, because as of 2020 the course records are 2:05:06 hours and 2:22:31 hours respectively.

4) Chicago Marathon prize money

Winners of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon can also expect annual prize money of $100,000, plus another $75,000 for a course record. There are further bonuses for certain time limits.

In sports whether it’s running , football or basketball etc , most money comes from outside the sport activity itself for the elite athletes (whatever sport).
So let me give you an example. All those elite Kenyan athletes or like NBA star LeBron James get paid to wear labels ( Nike, adidas etc) . In marathons, these companies only pay for participants of World major’s ( the seven I posted). So if you are running in Nike , you will make more money finishing 10th at Tokyo than winning in Dubai . Also the Majors pay more appearance fees than others . An elite Kenyan can win in Dubai ( $250k) or finish 10th in Tokyo and win total $350k ( including appearance fees, Nike sponsorship fees among other incentives).Appearance fees and incentives are rarely printed out in the media.
Let me put it in Football perspective:what would you rather be ? the best player in Yanga or Simba or bench player for Real Madrid?.. I bet you would pick to continue being the superstar for Yanga or Simba🤣🤣🤣
Stop getting all your answers from internet or chat Gpt ..🤣🤣🤣

Again, not all right answers are found on the internet. If I google Tanzanian elections right now , the internet will tell me Mama won by over 80% of the vote hence she’s very popular…The same internet on a different page will explain how the elections was rigged …do you see my point?
