Kenya’s Elijah Saurey Kibet and Uganda’s Doreen Chesang won the inaugural The Hague Marathon on Sunday, with Kibet taking the men’s race in 2:09:03 and Chesang setting a personal best of 2:24:34 in the women’s event, ANP reported.
Kibet, making his marathon debut, was first to finish the 42.195-kilometre course, which began and ended on the Malieveld. Chesang crossed the line about 15 minutes later as the fastest woman.
Runners travelled from the city centre through Zuiderpark and into the Westland, then followed the coast to the port of Scheveningen before returning to The Hague.
