“These gallant Kenyans raised our flag high at the London Marathon,” said Muhindi adding that Kipchoge might have finished eighth but his spirited attempt to defend his London Marathon title must be commended.
Muhindi explained that they celebrate Kipchoge’s sportsmanship, humility and inspiring philosophy that ‘No human is limited’.
“We are confident that there will be another opportunity to compete and inspire the world as he has always done over the years,” said Muhindi adding that Isuzu East Africa is looking forward to welcoming Kipchoge back home and the rest of the team.
Isuzu East Africa has awarded Kipchoge two Isuzu D-Max pickups for setting a new world record (2:01:39) in the 2018 Berlin Marathon, and for beating the clock in the sub two-hour marathon (1:59:40) at the INEOS Challenge in Vienna, Austria last year.
