Peres Jepchirchir, the reigning Olympic gold medalist from Kenya, set a women’s-only world record Sunday morning in the London Marathon, bursting from a pack of stellar runners in the elite field. Jepchirchir broke Mary Keitany’s women’s-only marathon mark with a time of 2 hours, 16 minutes, 16 seconds, sprinting ahead of Tigst Assefa, the overall world record holder who set the mark of 2:11:53 last year in Berlin, was second on Sunday in 2:16:23. Joyciline Jepkosgei (2:16:24) and Megertu Alemu (2:16:34) also finished ahead of Keitany’s record and Jepchirchir broke Keitany’s 2017 mark for a marathon that featured no male runners by 45 seconds. London’s elite women’s field starts about 30 minutes ahead of the elite men.
