LONDON — Alexander Mutiso Munyao delivered another win for Kenya on a day the London Marathon remembered last year’s champion Kelvin Kiptum. A race that started with a period of applause for Kiptum, who was killed in a car crash in Kenya in February, ended with his countryman and friend running alone down the final straight in front of Buckingham Palace to earn an impressive victory in his first major marathon. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Mutiso Munyao said he spoke to Kiptum after his win in London last year and that the world-record holder is always on his mind when he’s competing. “He’s in my thoughts every time, because he was my great friend,” Mutiso Munyao said.
