Paula Radcliffe's event record was in a race with two male pacers. For races held from around 1990 thru 2002, the elite women were given an early start and these earlier races are considered to have been women-only.Mary Keitany's 2:17:01 in 2017 is a women's only race world record. Liliya Shobukhova (RUS} was the first female finisher in 2010 (2:22:00) but was disqualified in 2014 for doping violations.  Inga Abitova (RUS), who placed 2nd (2:22:19), had been disqualified earlier.
