The Paris half marathon will be Disi’s second competitive championship this year, after January’s San Blas half marathon in Puerto Rico where he finished sixth.
Over 27,000 participants are expected to run in Paris with the winner pocketing 40,000 euros (Rfw31m).
After Sunday’s showdown, Disi will switch his focus to the longer version (Paris full marathon) slated for April 5.
