The 2014 Berlin Marathon was the 41st edition of the Berlin Marathon. The marathon took place in Berlin, Germany, on 28 September 2014 and was the fourth World Marathon Majors race of the year.
The men's race was won by Kenyan athlete Dennis Kimetto in a world record time of 2:02:57, breaking the previous record of Wilson Kipsang by 26 seconds. Kimetto's performance means that the last six men's world records at the distance have all been set at the Berlin Marathon. Runner-up Emmanuel Mutai also surpassed Kipsang's old mark, finishing in 2:03:13.[1] En route to his second-place finish, Mutai set a world record at the 30K distance (1:27:37).[2]
The women's race was won by Tirfi Tsegaye of Ethiopia in a time of 2:20:18 hours.
Finishing third in a time of 2:21:14, Shalane Flanagan became the second fastest American woman at the marathon distance.[2] Flanagan passed the 25K mark in 1:22:36, surpassing Janet Bawcom's previous American 25K record of 1:24:36.[2]
