Record holder Kelvin Kiptum dies in a traffic accident. The Kenyan athlete, who was traveling with his coach, set the marathon world record last October with 2:00:35.

Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga has expressed his regret on Twitter. He debuted in Valencia, in December 2022, with the fastest time in history for a rookie in the race (2h.01:53) and later, in 2023, he won first in London with 2h01:25.
