Mary Keitany runs with a spirit and drive that few other marathoners can match. In April 2017, Mary Keitany ran 2:17:02, the World record for women running without male pace makers. In NYC, Mary took second, as Shalane Flanagan won the last race of the Fall World Marathon Majors season. Here is Mary’s comments in Monaco, upon being asked what is truly possible in the women’s marathon.

“I said to them in London: let’s make a world record in the future. I’ve seen it’s possible to do 2:17 and I know now that 2:15 might be possible.” Mary Keitany, who ran 2:17:01 in the London Marathon this year, has big ambitions as she looks to the future. #AthleticsAwards Photo: @carpfil
