Barngetuny won the men's race with the best time of his life, finishing in two hours, 10 minutes and 15 seconds, reclaiming the title for Kenya after Ethiopia's Bonsa Dida won last year, reports Efe.
Joining Barngetuny on the podium were his compatriots Kenneth Kiplagat and Alfonce Kibiwott.
Meanwhile, Kipketer set a new record in the women's marathon, clocking in at two hours, 30 minutes and 40 seconds -- more than a minute faster than the previous mark.
