Kenyan runner Kelvin Kiptum won the London Marathon on Sunday with the second fastest time in history at 2 hours, 1 minute and 27 seconds, 18 seconds short of Eliud Kipchoge’s world record.
Kiptum, who had already become the third best performer in the world for his first marathon, in Valencia in December, accelerated after 1h30 of racing and finished far ahead of his compatriot Geoffrey Kamworor and the Ethiopian Tamirat Tola, world champion in the discipline.
