This time around men and women qualifiers have a one off chance to make it to Berlin at the national championships in Nairobi on June 25-27.

"Because of the long duration of the event, the athletes have to be selected early to prepare for Berlin. They don’t have to run in the trials," said AK chairman Isaiah Kiplagat at a news conference.

The World Championships take place in Berlin from 15-23 August.
