The women's marathon at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics was held in London on 6 August starting and finishing on Tower Bridge.
Catarina Ribeiro (Portugal) made an early break to a lead of almost 30 seconds in the first five kilometres of the race, but was caught by the main group 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, and then, largely under pressure from Amy Cragg (United States), this group was reduced to nine, before Rose Chelimo (Bahrain) went off the front, followed and eventually passed by Edna Kiplagat (Kenya). In the latter stages, Chelimo passed Kiplagat and went on to win by seven seconds, while Kiplagat narrowly retained second ahead of Cragg, who was given the same finishing time.
