Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa won the Berlin Marathon on Sunday, 27 September, in 2:11:04. A sharp slowdown near the finish ended her world-record challenge, but she still ran what World Athletics ranks as the third-fastest women’s marathon in history. [1]
Assefa reached 40km in 2:03:00, putting her on pace for a projected finish of 2:09:44 — 12 seconds inside the 2:09:56 world record. She then began limping and grimacing as her pace fell. Reuters reported that she suffered cramps in the final two kilometres; World Athletics described an apparent physical problem. [1] [2]
Her winning time took 49 seconds off the Berlin course record she set in 2023. It was her third victory in the race, following wins in 2022 and 2023. [1]
Bedatu Hirpa finished second in the women’s race in 2:16:53, two seconds ahead of Dera Dida. Ethiopia’s Guye Adola won the men’s race in a personal best of 2:02:50, completing an Ethiopian double. Gemechu Dida was second and Tanzania’s Gabriel Geay third. [1]
