Defending champion Geoffrey Mutai and Priscah Jeptoo won the men’s and women’s races at the New York City Marathon yesterday for a Kenyan sweep in chilly, windy conditions through the city’s five boroughs.

Kenya’s Priscah Jeptoo went one better than her London 2012 Olympics silver by winning the Virgin London Marathon today.

Ethiopia’s Tiki Gelana took gold in the Olympic marathon by claiming a surprise victory in London today.

Mary Keitany today retained her Virgin London Marathon title as Kenyan women enjoyed a 1-2-3 on the streets of the British capital.
