Elite marathon runner Peres Jepchirchir has set a new world record by

On the Finish Line to verify all new world records set was official 
Guinness World Records Adjudicator Mark McKinley, who said: “I've been 
lucky enough to Adjudicate several TCS London Marathon record attempts over 
the years and I am always inspired by the courage it takes to train and run 
a marathon, let alone for a record title. All of our 74 Guinness World 
Records attempts today have been a display of true determination and we are
