00:04A rock star reception after a record-breaking run.
00:13Two-time Olympic gold medalist Elliot Kepchoge finishing this year's Melbourne Marathon in
00:20a flash.
00:21Wow, the crowd is awesome, it's wonderful, the course is good, the sport is about crossing
00:26the finishing line and coming together.
00:29The Kenyan crossing the line in two hours, nine minutes and ten seconds.
00:34He signed it and hugged me, I was so happy.
00:36While Camille French was neck and neck in the women's, the New Zealander pipping her Aussie
00:41rival by 24 seconds.
00:44Loved it, such a good course, like it's so flat.
00:48They were up before dawn, thousands setting their watches and hoping for a personal best.
00:56Just want to run fast and win and lucky enough I was able to do that today.
00:59Some taking on the 42km journey for a good cause.
01:03This is Hazel, she's my daughter and she has severe cerebral palsy so she can't walk and
01:09she'll never be able to.
01:10While others were dressing up for the occasion.
01:13I'm glad I was at the back, she pulled me along.
01:15I wasn't quite expecting it to be so hot.
01:18Over the course of this two day event, a record 60,000 runners have passed the finish line
01:23at the mighty MCG and have had plenty of support from those screaming their names packed into
01:29the stands.
01:31For those wanting to be in the running next year, applications are opening soon.
