Results 2016     Video London Marathon 2016

A flood of records could be noticed at 36th edition of
the London Marathon.

A record field of more than 39,000 runners made London
the 3rd biggest marathon of the world just behind New York
and Paris.

Men's winner Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya defended his title performing a magnificent new course record of 2:03:05, just outside 8 seconds of the world record. On his way he clocked a new 30K world record of 1:27:13.

The women's race showed a dramatic scene close to mile 22 when the leading three runners fell heavily to the ground. Jemima Sumgong rebounded best and turned accident to triumph outsprinting defending champion Tigst Tufa by 5 seconds in 2:22:58.

Organizers had to announce a tragic fatality. David Seath, 31, suffered a cardiac arrest only 3 miles to the finish line. He fell near Southwark Bridge and died shortly after being rushed to Hospital. Visit his Just Giving Page that has been reeinstalled by his friends.
