Eliud Kipchoge has won the Berlin Marathon for the fifth consecutive time making history as the first athlete to do so at the venue.
Before winning the Sunday’s Marathon in Berlin in 2:02:42, Kipchoge came in the race with 15 wins from 18 marathons he has participated, the highest ever set by any athlete.
In Berlin, Eliud Kipchoge bagged the win in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2023 consecutively, a milestone echoed by World Athletics.

“Once again, Eliud Kipchoge asserts his command and dominance, showcasing his exceptional skill and defending his title by securing victory in the Berlin Marathon for an unparalleled 5th time. Bravo! No Human Is Limited.” said Raila
