Kenyan Runner Kelvin Kiptum's
The achievement follows the previous record set by Paul Tergat in Berlin in 2000. The event drew fanfare from spectators and observers. The runner's performance marks a major milestone in long-distance running. Tragically, Kiptum died in a car accident in Kenya on February 11, 2024, just four months after setting the record.
