*New record

Kenya’s Jimmy Muindi became the first man to win four Honolulu Marathon titles and he broke a race record that had stood since 1986.

Muindi crossed the line in 2:11:12 to shatter fellow Kenyan Ibrahim Hussein’s old mark of 2:11:43.

Running in a six-man pack, Muindi made his trademark surge before mile 19 and cruised to the historic win.

Russia’s Lyubov Morgunova destroyed her own 2000 women’s course record by a full minute, finishing in 2:27:33.

It was her third nonconsecutive win and she dethroned defending champion Eri Hayakawa.

But Hayakawa, who slipped and suffered a bloody fall a few miles into the race, also eclipsed Morgunova’s old record, finishing in 2:28:11. It was a personal record for the only Japanese citizen ever to win the Honolulu Marathon in either gender division.
