The men's race was won by Wilson Kipsang of Kenya in a world record time of 2:03:23. [2]
The women's race was won by Florence Kiplagat of Kenya in a time of 2:21:13. [3]
The 20th-place finisher in the men's race, Miguel Ángel Gamonal, tested positive for Clenbuterol and was disqualified and banned for two years. [4]
Although Kipsang's world record was the major historical event of the race, it later became notable for being Eliud Kipchoge's only loss at the marathon distance in an otherwise spotless competitive record spanning 2013 to 2019. His next loss did not occur until the 2020 London Marathon.
