Kiprotich,28, has won two major global titles but victory in a big city marathon is still missing so far in his running portfolio. He however did win the Enschede marathon in 2011 with 2:07:20.

In the build up, Kiprotich had sounded very confident – and nearly did it, but was outdone in the final 100 metres. The elite runners, including Kiprotich, will share 300,000 Euros (Sh1.16 billion).

Congratulations are in order.
