Kenyan athlete Bernard Biwott has secured a hefty payout after winning the Paris Marathon - one of the highest-paying marathons in the world.

The 22-year-old proved too strong for his opponents on Sunday, April 13, as he clocked a personal best time of 2:05:24 to claim the prestigious title.

The race featured one of its strongest elite fields to date, including France's top marathoner Hassan Chahdi, who was returning to the spotlight after an impressive showing at the London Marathon, where he clocked 2:07:30 at the 2024 London Marathon.

However, it was Biwott who stole the show with a tactical masterclass, particularly in the final stages.
