The women's marathon at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics was held in London on 6 August[1] starting and finishing on Tower Bridge.[2]

Summary

Catarina Ribeiro (Portugal) made an early break to a lead of almost 30 seconds in the first five kilometres of the race, but shortly after the 10 kilometre mark she was caught by the peloton. Alyson Dixon (Great Britain) had by that stage made a counter-attack, and held a lead of more than 30 seconds by half way. A group of 14 caught and passed her. That pack, including Dixon stayed together for 10K then, largely under pressure from Amy Cragg (United States), this group was reduced to nine, before Rose Chelimo (Bahrain) went off the front, chased and eventually passed by Edna Kiplagat (Kenya), but Chelimo stayed in her shadow. Behind them Flomena Cheyech Daniel had a small lead on Cragg for bronze. As the finish on Tower Bridge came into view, Chelimo passed Kiplagat and went on to win by seven seconds. Meanwhile Cragg had pulled even with Daniel. Kiplagat looked content with silver as Cragg was sprinting away from Daniel. Suddenly catching Kiplagat looked possible. Kiplagat narrowly retained second as Cragg was given the same finishing time.
