Kipchoge beat Dennis Kimetto’s world best of 2:02:57; which was as well set in Berlin back in 2014.
After the fete, the 33-year-old Olympic champion pocketed a cool Ksh.12 million from the Berlin Marathon, not forgetting other prizes from his sponsors.
In Berlin Marathon, the winners are given cash rewards of about 50,000 US dollars each ( Which is approximately Ksh. 5 million).
Kipchoge also picked up an additional prize of around 69,000 USD (Ksh.7 million) for setting the world’s best time. Sema kukafunga!
His sponsors, Isuzu East Africa signed a partnership deal with the decorated athlete last year which saw Kipchoge pocket a whooping Sh7m and an additional brand new D-max for training and personal use.
Isuzu then promised to reward him with a brand new D-Max Luxury double cabin if he breaks the world record and it's safe to say he is now the proud owner of the luxury vehicle.
