This happened in 2010. Here is an article: https://sportsbrief.com/athletics/22003-remembering-kenyan-athlete-jacqueline-kiplimo-helped-physically-challenged-athlete-quench-thirst/

Kiplimo was leading the race at the 10-kilometre mark when she saw an armless athlete trying to open a water bottle. The athlete was severely dehydrated and in need of water.

She decided to slow down and help the athlete drink water. She then ran with him until the 38-kilometre mark, which allowed her competitors to overtake her.
