At the 2024 Tokyo Marathon, Eliud Kipchoge finished in 10th place in 2:06:50, over four-and-a-half minutes behind the winner, Benson Kipruto.From the gun, Kipchoge, 39, inserted himself in the lead pack, and the pace early on was hot. The group of seven came through the 15-kilometer mark in 42:45, which was on pace for the late Kelvin Kiptum’s world record of 2:00:35. But after mile 12, Kipchoge began to fall back from the group.
Timothy Kiplagat finished second in 2:02:55, and Vincent Kipkemoi Ngetich took third. Kipchoge’s performance comes on the heels of an up-and-down 2023. In April, he debuted at the Boston Marathon but struggled in the later miles, fading to sixth place in 2:09:23—the slowest time of his career. Five months later at the Berlin Marathon, however, Kipchoge re-found his form. He cruised to a 2:02:42, winning the race for the fifth time. Kipchoge has made his intentions clear for 2024.
