Kelvin Kiptum ran the second fastest marathon ever, and Sifan Hassan pulled off a remarkable victory in the women’s race
This was Hassan’s debut at the marathon distance, after a highly successful career on the track, but her victory was not without obstacles. The Dutch athlete yo-yoed off the lead pack for much of the early race, even stopping twice to stretch her quad. It looked like she was on the verge of dropping out, but after restarting, she began to furiously chase down the leaders.
Susanna Sullivan earned top American honors, running 2:24:27 for a 47-second PR to nab ninth place. The 32-year-old works as a teacher in the Washington, DC area.—started the race but dropped out before the first mile. Kosgei mentioned she was having some hamstring issues before the race, and it was clear that she wasn’t 100 percent.Kelvin Kiptum used a ferocious surge just after 30K to break the race open to win in a course record 2:01:25.
Kiptum will go home with $230,000 for winning the race and dipping under the course record and 2:03 barrier, and his second half marathon split—59:45—is the fastest second half of a marathon ever. The 23-year-old Kenyan passes Kenenisa Bekele on the all-time list—who started today’s race but dropped out after 25K.
Frank Lara, who trains with the Roots Running Project, was the top American, finishing in 11th place in 2:13:29. And four-time Olympic gold medal winnerAlex DavidsonMarcel Hug took the men’s wheelchair title in a time of 1:23:44, winning by five minutes. This is his second major win within the last week after he won the Boston Marathon on Monday. The “Swiss Silver Bullet” has now won three London Marathons in a row.
Madison de Rozario, of Australia, won a thrilling women’s race, edging out Manuela Schär at the line. Catherine Debrunner and Boston winner Susannah Scaroni all finished within six seconds of the winner.Residents in the U.S.—plus Canada and Australia—could only watch the race via FloTrack. The stream, however, was either audio-only or completely down for the majority of the marathon, including the second half of both the men’s and women’s races. At an annual subscription price of $149.
