Kenya’s Chebet retain Boston Marathon title

Kenya’s Evans Chebet successfully defended his Boston Marathon title – with two-time Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge back in sixth.

Chebet won in two hours five minutes and 54 seconds, with compatriot Kipchoge finishing 3:29 behind him.

It is only Kipchoge’s third defeat in his previous 18 marathons.

Kenya’s Hellen Obiri, competing in just her second race over the marathon distance, won the women’s race in 2:21.38.
