Despite missing a hat-trick at the lucrative Virgin London Marathon on Sunday, all is not lost for Mary Keitany.

Keitany (pictured), a former world 21km record holder and the reigning Africa marathon record holder at 2:18.37, must summon her daring final kicks to reclaim the $500,000 (Sh43m) WMM jackpot she won in the 2012/2013 season.
