Scenes from the London Marathon

Many of us couldn’t be in London today for the epic 35th annual London Marathon. This year’s race was full of runners able to run a 2:04 marathon. Among them were the sport’s best runners Dennis Kimetto, Wilson Kipsang and Eliud Kipchoge. The champions today were Eliud Kipchoge in the men’s race and Tigist Tufa in the women’s. And another big piece of news: One of the greatest distance stars of all time, Paula Radcliffe chose today’s race to be the last in her career.

Here are some social media shots of the frenzy in London today:
