In April, 2014, Kipsang won the London Marathon in a course record two hours, four minutes and 29 seconds.
The victory earned him $55,000 (Sh5.5 million) while for running a sub-2:05 time, he banked a bonus payment of $100,000 (Sh10 million) besides a further $25,000 (Sh2.5 million) bonus set aside for anyone winning the race in a course record time.
