Kenyan Alex Ekesa brought his talents back to the ‘Land of the Flying Fish’ and ran off with his third consecutive Run Barbados Marathon title yesterday.
Adding to his triumphs in 2019 and 2022, Ekesa returned to a familiar stomping ground to cross the finish line at Barclays Park in two hours, 35 minutes, and 52 seconds (2:35:52). Completing the podium was Brian Morseman of the USA, who finished second (2:38:17), and Vega Lagos (3:10:29) was third.
In a post-race interview with this daily, Ekesa, who also finished second in the 10K race a day earlier, stated that he was grateful for the opportunity given by Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. (BTMI) to defend his marathon title.
