What a finale!
Tanzania’s Alphonce Simbu is the champion, as Kenya’s Joshua Kipkorir comes second after an intense, neck-to-neck battle.
Kipkorir broke the deadlock early on and opened up the field, but the last-gasp burst from Simbu in the closing minutes, coupled with a lapse from the Kenyan, meant that the Tanzanian won the 14th edition of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon.

A big turnaround in the elite pack as 22-year-old Joshua Kipkorir takes the unexpected lead.
