Pressemeddelelse fra Sparta Atletik og Motion
A line of records were all broken at Sunday’s Telenor Copenhagen Marathon. Not only did Jackson Kibet Limo smash the course record in the Danish capital with a winning time of 2:09,54 hours; the 30-year-old Kenyan also produced the fastest time ever on Danish soil, lowering the previous best set in Odense back in 2012 with nearly two minutes.
In the women’s race, Ethiopia took the first three spots. The winner, Etalemahu Habtewold, covered the classic 42,195 km in a personal best of 2:29,29, thereby improving the course record from 2010. As with the men, this is also a new all-comer’s record.
With 13.280 participants, the 40th anniversary edition of the race could as well register another record as the biggest marathon race in Denmark ever.
