World record-holding marathon runner Kelvin Kiptum has died. Kiptum was the first man to run the marathon in under 2 hours, 1 minute, in an official race. He finished the 2023 Chicago Marathon with a time of just 2 hours and 35 seconds. Authorities say the runner was in a car crash with his running coach and an unidentified 24-year-old woman. They were in a high-altitude region of Kenya known to be excellent training ground for long-distance runners. Kelvin Kiptum was 24 years old.

For a second I got confused bc when you put 4:36 I thought you meant the time of this KZfaq video post and bc it’s blue even though this ends 1:22, but I know you meant of the time laps of running..

You just think he was good. But all we know is that he completed three fast marathon races in less than a year, and he died in a self-inflicted car accident. That's all we know about him. We can't tell people anything else for the next generations.

At the Chicago 2023 Marathon , Champion Kelvin Kiptum of Kenya clocked a World Marathon record of 2Hours 35Sec on the Sunday of 8thOct2023 at age 23 ... So sadly , Champion Kelvin Kiptum passed away together with his personal coach in a car accident at the Rift Valley Precinct in Kenya on Sunday / 11thFeb2024 ... He was 24 ... 🙏 Deepest condolences to families & friends of Champion Kelvin Kiptum of Kenya ... 🙏🕯🌼🌿🌍🕊

Two greats of the marathon - Samuel Wanjiru and Kelvin Kiptum - Both Kenyan, both died at age 24, both had so much more to show us. Wanjiru still holds the Olympic record and I dare say, Kiptum will hold the World record for many years to come.
