London Marathon organisers will honour the late Kelvin Kiptum with 30 seconds of applause ahead of Sunday's elite men's race.
Kiptum’s death at the age of just 24 in a late-night car accident in February near his home in Eldoret, the high-altitude training hub in the Rift Valley, western Kenya, stunned the world of athletics.
“We will be having a tribute to him on the start line for what he did in the incredible short time he was in our sport,” London Marathon race director Hugh Brasher said on Wednesday.
