I think this was a set piece for one of the marimba competitions a few years ago. Assuming this is the one from WTC I, you could assign your outer 2 mallets to the top and bottom voices, and stick the middle voice with your inside mallets as convenient. You can also use mallets of different voices to further distinguish the voices, for example a soft mallet for the bass voice, medium mallet for the high voice, and harder mallets for the inner voice.
With some of the fugues, including this one, you'll run into some problems performing the ornamentation fast enough if you stick to rigidly to the sticking assignments, and this is one argument for using 4 of the same mallets.
It only gets more fun when you begin reading some of the 4 part fugues, especially in WTC II.
