It proved a display of dominance by the greatest marathon runner ever seen as Eliud Kipchoge ran the fastest London Marathon in history, beating everyone in sight with a time of 2:02:37 that stands as the second-fastest marathon of all-time, behind his own world record set in Berlin last year.
It proved a slightly disappointing day for Britain's Mo Farah, who missed out on a place in the top three and had to make do with fifth place. But a tactical women's race saw Kenya's Brigit Kosgei romp to victory with the fastest ever second-half marathon, while victories in the wheelchair races went to Daniel Romanchuk of the USA and Switzerland's Manuela Schar respectively. Re-live all the action below.
