Kenyans win men's and women's races at London Marathon
The 34-year-old Kipchoge pulled clear of Ethiopian runners Mosinet Geremew and Mule Wasihun in the final 10 minutes to complete the 26.2-mile course in 2 hours, 2 minutes, 37 seconds on a blustery day in the British capital.
"I'm happy to win on the streets of London for the fourth time and to make history on a day that the event has raised 1 billion pounds ," said Kipchoge, who won in London in 2015, '16 and '18. Home favourite Mo Farah -- a four-time Olympic champion on the track -- could not live with the pace, dropping away at the 14-mile mark and finishing a distant fifth at the end of a week when he was involved in an extraordinary public feud with retired distance-running great Haile Gebrselassie.
