Pre-race, we said the Valencia fields were the deepest in history and that proved to be the case, particularly in the men's race where 30 men broke 2:10.

You can’t always tell the story of a marathon by looking at the results, but in this one, you could. A woman who ran 2:17 earlier this year ran 2:32 today and still won by over a minute. 28 of the 68 starters (41%) dropped out of the race. These were truly miserable conditions to run a marathon but that didn't stop Ruth Chepngetich from winning yet again. If she keeps this up, she could become the GOAT.

Mokoka won a race over a trio of Kenyans who finished between 2:09:02 and 2:09:21 behind him. Namibia’s Helalia Johannes won the women's race in 2:29:28.
