Ethiopia's Kenenisa Bekele said Kelvin Kiptum will always have a special place at the London Marathon after the Kenyan's tragic death."We put him in a special place in our heart because in a really short time he has done a lot for our sport."
Kenyan long-distance runner Kiptum won last year’s London Marathon for the third time, but was killed in a car accident in February at the age of 24.
Race distance seen as pinnacle of human achievement since time of ancient Greece is no longer the finishing line for what the body can endure
