Kenyan Great Kipchoge Wins First Marathon in Three Years
Two-time Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge won his first marathon in three years on Sunday when the Kenyan great cruised to victory at Melbourne. The most-decorated marathoner in history crossed the finish line in 2hrs 9min 10sec, two seconds inside the race record. It was his first victory over the distance since Berlin in 2023 and part of his "World Tour" to raise funds for causes he believes in. The 41-year-old former world record-holder announced in 2025 he planned complete marathons on all seven continents, including Antarctica, over two years.
