Ethiopia's Haile Gebrselassie will run the Berlin marathon in September for a third straight year after shattering the world record in the German capital last year, organisers said on Tuesday.

Gebrselassie's time of 2 hours 4 minutes and 26 seconds eclipsed the previous record of 2:04.55 set by his friend and rival Paul Tergat of Kenya on the same Berlin course in 2003.
