Samson Lemayan and Mercy Kwambai emerged winners of this year's 25th Lewa Safari Marathon that attracted at least 1500 participants from across the globe.
Mr Lemayan from Maralal in Samburu County clocked 2:28:35 to finish the race followed by John Musee and Joseph Kariuki who emerged second and third respectively taking 2:29:18 and 2:29:36 to finish the race.
In the women category, Mercy Kwambai successfully defended her 2023 title leading in the full marathon with a time of 2:47:17, beating Evaline Lagat and Monica Watetu who settled for the second and third positions with 3:02:32 and 3:20:21 respectively.
The Marathon was held at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Northern Kenya under the theme, "Connecting Generations through 25 Years of Conservation." This year's event marks a significant milestone in one of the world's most unique sporting experiences, considering it was cancelled last year due to the Gen Z June protests.
