She will be up against Namibian long-distance runner Helalia Johannes, who is aged 43 but still has it in her legs to run well.
The Namibian only competed once last season, at the Daegu International Marathon that saw her finish 10th and she will seek to start her season on a good note this year.
Azmera Gebru, an Ethiopian runner, has also been confirmed for the event and she will be out to give Masai a run for her money.
Gebru returns to competitive running after a mixed two years and she has her fingers crossed to run well this season.
