E36: Celebrating Kelvin Kiptum's Remarkable Legacy

In 2013, Kelvin Kiptum participated in his first half marathon. 10 years and three game-changing marathons later, his was a World Record to be reckoned with.

A light that shone so incredibly brightly and all too briefly, Kiptum and his coach, Gervais Hakizimana, sadly died on Sunday 11th of February in Kenya.

We're taking this episode of Marathon Talk to explore the stellar highlights of his career, and share in his irreplaceable impact on the marathon community with Chicago's Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski, and Author of Running With The Kenyans, Adharanand Finn.

In this episode of Marathon Talk:

0:00 - We take a moment of silence to remember Kelvin & Gervais, relive the moment that he stormed to the finish line at the London Marathon, and follow the journey he took to marathon glory
20:00 - Chicago's Executive Race Director, Carey Pinkowski, joins us to relive the moment that he shattered the fastest time in human history, and discusses the impact that he made on Chicago and the marathon community as a whole
36:20 - Kelvin's performances earned him praise from the community's greatest, and we parse through some of the most glowing quotes shared in his wake
41:00 - Adharanand Finn, Author of Running With The Kenyans, shares his experiences of Gervais & Kelvin's impact on the community in Kenya, diving into just how family-focused he and his community are
