Kipruto said it was amazing to fly home with "The Pride of Africa" after winning his first World Marathon Major race and on his first appearance in London.
"This victory meant a lot for me after playing second fiddle for long," said Kipruto.
World Marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge and newly crowned London Marathon champion Amos Kipruto were among athletes flown this morning by the national carrier, Kenya Airways.
The Boeing 787-7 touched down at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at 4.30am Tuesday.
