London Marathon 2019: Eliud Kipchoge and Brigid Kosgei win men and women's elite races.

Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge won the London Marathon 2019 for a record fourth time Sunday in the second-fastest time ever, and compatriot Brigid Kosgei swept to victory by almost two minutes in the women’s race.

The 34-year-old Kipchoge pulled clear in the final 10 minutes to complete the 26.2-mile (42.2-kilometer) course in 2 hours, 2 minutes, 37 seconds on a blustery day in the British capital. Only he has run a marathon quicker than that, when breaking the world record in Berlin in September in a time of 2:01:39.

Farah, meanwhile, ended a difficult few days by finishing over three minutes back in 2:05.39, after slowing down markedly in the final three miles

Meanwhile the women’s race was won by Brigid Kosgei in 2:18.20, beating last year’s winner Vivian Cheruyiot into second. Charlotte Purdue ran a stunning 2:25.38 to finish tenth and become the third fastest British women in history, behind only Paula Radcliffe and Yama Yamauchi

Kosgei bettered her second-place finish in last year’s race by winning in 2:18:20 for her second victory in the World Marathon Majors, after Chicago last year.

Compatriot and defending champion Vivian Cheruiyot finished in a time of 2:20:14 and Roza Dereje of Ethiopia was third, 37 seconds further back.
