This was also his second fastest time on the course, only behind his M45+ masters marathon world record of 2:09:12. Kiptoo&#8217;s time was only four seconds off his own world record for his 45-49 age group. Although it&#8217;s not an age-group record, it&#8217;s the fastest ever marathon by a 48-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>Kiptoo was 46 when he broke American\/Kenyan <a href=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/sections\/runs-races\/abdi-abdirahman-breaks-bernard-lagats-us-masters-marathon-record\/\"><strong>Bernard Lagat&#8217;s<\/strong> <\/a>previous M45+ age-group record of 2:14:23 by five minutes at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many Kenyan athletes, who take up the sport in their youth or as a young adult. Kiptoo did not start running until he was well into his mid-20s while serving in the Kenyan Armed Forces. It wasn&#8217;t until Kiptoo was 31 that he competed for Kenya internationally for the first time in 2007.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Wow! 48-year-old Mark Kiptoo \ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddea wins Zurich Marathon title for the 3rd consecutive time \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffe<\/p>\n<p>Kiptoo proves that age is just a number!<\/p>\n<p>Top 3 male finishers \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffe<\/p>\n<p>1\ufe0f\u20e3Mark Kosgei Kiptoo \ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddea 2:09:16<br \/>\n2\ufe0f\u20e3Joel Kositany \ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddea 2:11:25<br \/>\n3\ufe0f\u20e3Habtom Amaniel 2:11:27 (debut) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/82EzBKxYWj\">pic.twitter.com\/82EzBKxYWj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kenya One Sports \ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddea (@TonnyKe11) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TonnyKe11\/status\/1911400987983511944?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Kiptoo, nicknamed &#8220;The Ageless Wonder,&#8221; has a marathon best of 2:06:00 from the Eindhoven Marathon in 2015, but has recorded sub-2:10 times in three of the last four years.
