MUMBAI: Kenya’s Cosmas Lagat and Ethiopia’s Worknesh Alemu upset the odds to triumph at the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2019, winning in 2:09:15 and 2:25.45 respectively.
Both marks were the second fastest winning times in the history of the IAAF Gold Label Road Race, the pair taking first prize cheques of $45,000 in India’s richest road race.
With temperatures higher than expected and reaching 23 degrees Celsius when the gun went, race timings were negatively impacted.
