2022 Valencia Marathon Champion Kelvin Kiptum is this year's London Marathon champion.
He cut the tape in a time of 2:01:25 to record the second fastest time in a marathon.
The 23-year old set a new course record for London set by Eliud Kipchoge in 2019 by over a minute.
He was just 16 seconds outside Kipchoge's world record.
In December last year, Kiptum posted the third fastest time of 2:01:53 in his marathon debut.
He said: "I am so happy with the result. I don't know what to say right now, I am just grateful. The course felt good, there was a bit of rain around halfway but it was OK. I enjoy doing the marathons, it is good preparation for me. I loved it, I am very happy."
Geofrey Kamworor who has won the New York marathon twice was runner up for a second consecutive time in London.
Britain's Mo Farah finished ninth in what he previously stated will be his last marathon but he seems to have shelved his retirement ambitions saying: "I started here at the mini marathon and to finish here is just incredible.
"If somebody had said to that kid running the mini marathon that I'll be Olympic champion, he would never have believed it. The sport needs this, we need to give back to the young athletes and teach them what is possible with hard work.
"I want to pass that on. The Great North Run is going to be my last ever run and that will be my goodbye. My career has been amazing, my wife and kids have been with me throughout this journey and I want to give time to them now, as well as getting involved in grassroots sport and give back to this sport."
