Already at kilometer 5 the first problems came with the hares, which could not maintain Kiptum's cadence. After covering that first set in 14:26, the Kenyan and his compatriot Mateiko were the ones left alone at the head along with one of the hares, Ronald Kirui, who they asked to stand in front to protect them.
The three athletes passed kilometer 10 in 28:42, with a projection a few seconds below Kipchoge's world record (2.01:09). There was still a long way to go, but a historic feat was beginning to take place.
Passing through kilometer 15 lowered expectations by reaching that point below the time of the still record holder. Kiptum and Mateiko were now alone in the lead to pass the half marathon in 1.00:48.
At kilometer 33 Kiptum decided to go for the world record. He left his compatriot behind with a great change of pace and left alone in search of winning the race and making history. As in his second marathon in London, the very young Kenyan athlete improved his pace in the second part of the race and was able to recover the seconds that separated him from breaking Kipchoge's mark.
He passed kilometer 40 with a time of 1.54:23 and wore himself out in the final moments in search of making it more difficult to beat a record that he already had in his hand. He blew two kisses to the public in his last meters, touched his chest and crossed the finish line with open arms ready to embrace his new world record, the best in history.
