Kiptum to be remembered with tribute ahead of London Marathon
Kelvin Kiptum, April 23, 2023
LONDON MARATHON organisers plan to pay tribute to the late Kelvin Kiptum on Sunday with 30 seconds of applause ahead of the elite male race.
The Kenyan long-distance runner won last year’s event and months later became the first man to run the marathon in under two hours and a minute in Chicago.
Kiptum’s death in a car accident in February at the young age of 24 sent shockwaves through the sport and he will be remembered before Sunday’s London Marathon, which he won on three occasions and with a record time of two hours, one minute and 25 seconds in 2023.
