GOODLIFE FITNESS VICTORIA MARATHON, CANADA – 11 OCTOBER 2015

The men's race was fast and furious as Tisia Kiplangat took an early lead. As he passed halfway in 1:06 course record holder Lamech Mokono and defending champion Daniel Kipkoech were hanging on.

Kiplangat continued to blaze away at the front but he started cramping at 40km and collapsed in the final kilometre. Kipkoech passed him to take the win.

Defending champion and favourite Lioudmila Kortchaguina was leading for most of the race but with 1km to go Erin Burrett attacked and passed Kortchaguina with 300m remaining. Kortchaguina finished 20 seconds behind herb but broke her own Masters record from 2014.

Burrett, in her marathon debut, finished 8th of 1204 finishers — the highest ever finishing position by a female in the 36 years of the race. 6800 finished all the events, including 1200 in the Marathon.
