FILE - Kenya's Kelvin Kiptum crosses the finish line to win the men's race at the London Marathon in London, April 23, 2023. World record-holder Kiptum was supposed to race in the Netherlands this weekend, with plans to attack the flat Rotterdam course in pursuit of the 2-hour barrier. But the 24-year-old Olympic gold-medal favorite died in a one-car accident in his native Kenya in Feb. 2024, leaving a void in the marathon world.
