Kongin, Kiptoo and the rest of the runners faced whipping winds Sunday.

"I really liked the course, but the challenge was the wind," Kiptoo told Corey Sharp of Philly.com. "I was saying [to myself], 'I'm not the only one who has [to] run here [with the wind]. I just have to focus and go.'"

Kiptoo lost the lead in the middle of the race but regained control around the 20-mile mark, per Sharp.

Hellen Jemutai (2:40:10), Julianne Quinn (2:42:11), Hilary Dionne (2:43:34), Meseret Dekebo (2:45:32), Leonora Petrina (2:49:22), Chelsea Benson (2:50:19), Cassidy Nagle (2:53:16), Rachel Coogan (2:54:23) and Sarah Duffy (2:55:53) finished behind Kiptoo in the women's race.
