The Ethiopian runner Yomif Kejelcha, who finished second in the marathon, also completed the 42.195-kilometer distance in under two hours, with a time of 1:59:41. In the women’s race, record-holder Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia finished the race in 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 41 seconds.

The previous men’s record was held by Kelvin Kiptum, who ran the marathon in 2 hours and 35 seconds in 2023. In fact, Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge became the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours in 2019, but that time was not officially recognized as a record because it was achieved under controlled conditions and not in a competitive race. So why do East African athletes, particularly those from Kenya and Ethiopia, excel in this long-distance running event?

Like many other sports, long-distance running benefits from advancements in training methods, nutrition, and equipment.
