It is Eliud’s first victory since winning the 2023 Berlin Marathon. “Today was such a special day, not only running my third World Tour, but also winning a new race record. It makes me proud to run with the younger generation and inspire the running community in Melbourne,” said Kipchoge.

New Zealand’s Camille French won the women’s race in 2:28:25 ahead of 49-year-old Sinead Diver (2:28:49) and Ireland’s Nichola Sheridan (2:29:13 PB).
