It’s great to hear about the success of Ethiopian runners in the Beirut marathon. Kedir Fekadu’s impressive victory in challenging weather conditions showcases the strength and determination of these athletes. Seada Kedir’s win among the women further highlights the Ethiopian dominance in the event.
The fact that the Ethiopians have now secured seven victories in nine editions of the Beirut marathon speaks to their excellence in long-distance running. The participation of 33,000 runners from 96 countries demonstrates the international appeal and significance of the Lebanese marathon.
Although Fekadu couldn’t break the event record set by Tariku Jufar in 2011, finishing with a time of 2 hours, 12 minutes, and 57 seconds is still a remarkable achievement. Overall, the Beirut marathon seems to be a platform for showcasing talent, overcoming challenges, and celebrating the spirit of running on a global scale.
