Story summary

Eliud Kipchoge, a two-time Olympic champion from Kenya, set a new race record at the Melbourne Marathon on Sunday by finishing with a time of 2 hours, 9 minutes, and 10 seconds. This victory marked the end of his three-year marathon title drought following his last win in Berlin in September 2023. Kipchoge broke away from competitors within the final 10 kilometers of the 42.2-kilometer race, securing a two-second improvement over the previous record set by another Kenyan, Timothy Kiplagat Ronoh, in 2022. Despite his lead, Kipchoge briefly slowed down to wave at spectators as he entered the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the final stretch. The second place went to Australian Thomas Do Canto with a time of 2:10:35, while New Zealand’s Camille French won the women's race in 2:28:25.
