Kimetto's outstanding time topped the old record, which was set in last year's race, by 53 seconds. With the win, Kimetto earned $100,000, plus an additional $75,000 for breaking the course record. 

On the women's side, Kenyan Rita Jeptoo—who finished second in 2012—took home first place with a time of 2:19:59. The time was a personal best for the 32-year-old Jeptoo, and it registered as the fastest women's finish in the world this year.

That feat earned her $40,000, in addition to her $100,000 first-place check.
