    Mumbai Marathon: Berhane Tesfay, Joyce Chepkemoi Tele Bag Titles

    By IANS News January 19, 2025 • 18:06 PM View: 664
    World Athletics Gold Label Road: New champions emerged in the 20th edition of the Mumbai Marathon, a World Athletics Gold Label Road Race, as Eritrean Berhane Tesfay and Kenyan Joyce Chepkemoi Tele won the men's and women's categories, respectively. The top three winners each took home prize money of USD 50,000, USD 25,000 and USD 15,000 respectively.

    The winners were happy to celebrate their victories here for two reasons -- Tesfay for his first-ever marathon triumph and Tele for her second successive win in three months in a marathon.

    Six men, including defending champion Lemi Berhanu, ran together in a bunch in most parts of the race. At the same time, pacer Timoty Kibet from Kenya pulled them to 27 km before withdrawing at that stage. After the 30K, Kenyan Philemon Rono and Lemi exchanged the lead briefly among themselves. After 35K, the runners realised that the event record was slipping away. Hence, only the top-place finish mattered in their mind.
