Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>2019 world marathon champion Ruth Chepng\u2019etich has proven to be unbeatable yet again after obliterating a strong field to retain her Chicago Marathon title.<\/p>\n

Chepng\u2019etich, who distanced herself from the pack of athletes at the 2km mark, won the highly-contested race in a new personal best time of 2:14:18, missing out on the world record by 14 seconds.<\/p>\n

The record was set by fellow countrywoman Brigid Kosgei at the 2019 Chicago Marathon. USA\u2019s Emily Sisson placed second in 2:18:20 as Vivian Kiplagat settled for third in 2:20:52.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s race, Ethiopian Seifu Tura relinquished his title to Benson Kipruto, who won the race by setting a new personal best time of 2:04:24. Tura placed second in 2:04:49 as John Korir settled for third in 2:05:01. Another Kenyan in the race was Bernard Koech, who placed fifth in 2:10:15.<\/p>\n

Kipruto stayed with the leading pack and with 5km to go, Tura and Korir were his only threats. At the 40km mark, he distanced himself from the two.<\/p>\n

His brother, Dickson Chumba, placed third at the 2014 edition of the marathon and Kipruto expressed his excitement about maintaining what he termed as the family legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy to have won and set a new PB. I am also happy to keep the title in the family. The course here is flat and this is a good city,\u201d Kipruto said, adding that the spectators also motivated him not to give up during the race.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the Munich Marathon, Kenyans did not disappoint as Philemon Kipchumba and Agnes Keino won the men\u2019s and women\u2019s races in respective times of 2:07:28 and 2:23:26.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s field, Ethiopia\u2019s Mengistu Gezahagn and Eritrean Berhane Tesfay placed second (2:07:56) and third (2:08:10) respectively. Other Kenyans in the field were Edwin Kimaiyo, who placed fifth in 2:11:02, Rodgers Keror \u2014 sixth in 2:12:34, Meshack Koech \u00ad\u2014 seventh in 2:14:53 and Vincent Kiprotich \u2014 ninth in 2:16:32.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s field, Ethiopia\u2019s Marr Hurssa and Moroccan Souad Kanbouchia placed second and third in respective times of 2:24:12 and 2:27:35. Other Kenyans in the field were Viola Yator and Helen Jepkurgat who settled for fourth (2:28:11) and seventh (2:32:07) places respectively.<\/p>\n

At the Lisbon Marathon, Bornes Jepkirui obliterated a strong field to win the women\u2019s race in 2:24:17. Ethiopian duo of Sorome Negash and Buzunesh Getachew placed second (2:25:57) and third (2:26:01) respectively. The other Kenyan in the race was Jane Jelagat, who placed seventh in 2:30:34.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s race, Ethiopians took the first three positions through Andualem Belay (first-2:05:45), Haftu Teklu (second-2:06:33) and Birhan Nebebew (third-2:07:04). Julius Kipkorir placed fourth in 2:08:23. Other Kenyans in the race were Paul Eyanae and Nicholas Kirwa who settled for eighth (2:13:46) and ninth (2:14:31) places respectively.<\/p>\n
