have been confirmed for the annual spectacle of races.

Race organiser Peter Lever yesterday confirmed that three athletes will be arriving on the Island tomorrow. However, the women's marathon favourite Firiya Sutanova will not be among them.

Defending Bermuda ADT Marathon champion Sergei Krestyaninov heads the cast that are coming along with Bank of Butterfield Elite Mile competitor Farrid Khayrulin and female runner Irina Suvorova, who will line up for the ADT Bermuda 10-K, rounding out the list.

Another casualty is Derrick Adamson of Jamaica, who has been felled by injury.

His spot in the 10-K has been filled with the inclusion of another foreigner Antoinette Elden.

Elden has recorded several times in the low 35-inute range and is a possible challenger to pre-race favourite Anne Letko.

Most of the overseas athletes are expected to arrive tomorrow.
