In the final moments of the race, Benson Kipruto was running towards victory; however, he faced a massive challenge from Alexander Mutis, who tried his best to register a strong win and snatch the victory from the Kenyan athlete. Ultimately, Benson Kipruto edged the victory with a margin of 0.2 seconds, clocking 2:08:09.

The American athlete spoke about dealing with fatigue and feeling unmotivated after a long workout session.
The Olympic gold medalist stressed the importance of recovery and shared how maintaining a good diet, along with good sleep, is the key to overcoming the feeling of fatigue.
"It can definitely be tiring for sure after long practices, but I think just sleeping and recovery is very helpful for that. Eating enough, drinking enough, getting enough sleep. But I think sometimes when I start to feel tired and fatigued mentally, I just remind myself that it is one day at a time and just taking one moment at a time, not getting overwhelmed, and ultimately I am grateful that I pushed through that moment," she said.After a successful 2025 season, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone hopes to return to the track with a stronger motivation and purpose next year.
