The year 2020 impacted the entire world with the Covid-19 pandemic and all sporting events in the first half of the year were canceled, including the most important marathons on the circuit. The London Marathon was transferred to October of that year and held in atypical conditions, with only a small number of elite athletes and no audience. Its course was also changed, being all played in turns within a large park. Kipchoge was defeated for the first time in seven years, coming in eighth with a time of 2:06:49, the worst of his entire marathon career. After the race, he stated that his ear closed during the race, and he could no longer hear and this affected his balance and his running pace.
