Below are top 10 results for the 2015 Tokyo Marathon which took place Sunday morning (February 22nd in Japan). Tokyo may be a part of the Abbot World Marathon Majors but when it comes to results and live time tracking, Tokyo was very far from a major. It had no live leaderboard. You could track runners if you knew there bib number (or name in Japanese).
Fortunately the TV broadcast had a screenshot of the top 10.
Endeshaw Negesse pulled away from defending champ Dickson Chumba over the final 3k as Olympic champ Stephen Kiprotich battled back to pass Chumba for second just before the line.
Birhane Dibaba won comfortably on the women’s side. American Lauren Kleppin 2:37:13 ran 2:37:13 while American Josphat Boit didn’t start.
