Kenyans take honors at the 20th edition of Shanghai Marathon

KENYA'S Paul Kipchumba Lonyangata set an event record to take the men's honors at the 2015 Shanghai International Marathon while compatriot Nguriatukei Rael Kiyara took the women's title on a wet Sunday morning.

The Shanghai event attracted 35,000 competitors who hit the streets despite the morning chill and fog.

Paul's time of 2 hours, 7 minutes and 14 seconds was a new event record, besting last year's record by one and a half minutes. Last year's winner Stephen Mokoka from South Africa came in second in 2:7: 40 seconds, followed by Shura Kitata Tola of Ethiopia (2:08:53).
