Timeline
At the Vienna City Marathon in April 2018 Kimetto dropped out before the 25-kilometre point.
Kimetto's injury problems continued in 2017, with a knee injury forcing him to withdraw from the field for the Boston Marathon. He failed to finish both the Chicago Marathon in October and the Honolulu Marathon in December.
His 2015 season wasn't as impressive as he only completed the London Marathon, finishing third, failing to complete the IAAF World Championships marathon in Beijing in August as well as the Fukuoka Marathon in December where he stopped at the 5-kilometre mark after dropping off the pace at 2 kilometres due to an injury. After finishing ninth at the 2016 London Marathon, Kimetto removed himself from consideration for the Rio Olympics, intending instead to run in the Chicago Marathon. However, he pulled out ahead of the race, citing a stress fracture in his left leg.
In 2013 Kimetto set two World Marathon Majors course records, at Tokyo in 2:06:50 (since bettered) and at Chicago in 2:03:45, the fastest time ever on American soil for a record quality course. On 28 September 2014, Kimetto broke the world record at the Berlin Marathon with 2:02:57 and became the first man to run under 2:03. His 5-kilometre splits were recorded as 14:42, 14:42, 14:46, 14:26, 14:32, 14:30, 14:09, 14:42. His second half of 1:01:12 was the fastest in history excluding those from the downhill and greatly wind-aided 2011 Boston Marathon.
Hailing from Eldoret and part of a training group including Geoffrey Mutai, Kimetto's first major win came in the half marathon section of the Nairobi Marathon in 2011. Running as Dennis Koech, he topped the podium in a time of 1:01:30. He quickly rose into the global running elite in his first outings outside of Kenya. At the RAK Half Marathon he defeated a field including Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich to win the race in 60:40 minutes. His age was misreported as ten years younger, and his following run of 59:14 minutes to win the Berlin Half Marathon in April was briefly considered a world junior best. An erroneous passport was the cause of both the age difference and the Koech misnomer, his surname actually being Kimetto. This was rectified in later competitions.
Dennis Kipruto Kimetto (born 22 January 1984) is a Kenyan long distance runner who competes in road running events. He was the world record holder in the men's marathon with a time of 2 hours 2 minutes 57 seconds, a record which he held until Eliud Kipchoge broke it in 2018 with a time of 2:01:39.
