Maratón Valencia Trinidad Alfonso EDP, Spain, December 5
Lawrence Cherono of Kenya ran 2:05:12 to win after fighting off a challenge from Chalu Deso of Ethiopia and Philemon Kacheran of Kenya in an exciting finish.

Chalu clocked 2:05:16 and Kacheran 2:05:19 as the former New York Marathon winner Geoffrey Kamworor was fourth in 2:05:23 in blustery conditions.

Behind, Abebe Negewo (2:05:27), Goitom Kifle (2:05:28) and Kinde Atanas (2:05:54) were also inside 2:06:00 with a further half dozen runners breaking 2:07:00.

They included Daniel Do Nascimento with 2:06:11 to beat Ronaldo da Costa’s Brazilian record and former world record, plus there was Amanal Petros who beat his own German record with 2:06:27 and Hamid Ben Daoud whose 2:06:34 took one second off the Spanish record held by Ayad Lamdassem.

The women’s race was won by Nancy Jelagat of Kenya in 2:19:31 as she took 14 minutes off her PB. Etagegne Woldu finished runner-up in 2:20:16, while fellow Ethiopian Beyenu Degefa was third in 2:23:04

In fifth place there was a terrific run by Ireland’s Fionnuala McCormack with 2:23:58 as she took three minutes off her PB. The 37-year-old finished ninth in the Euro Cross just a week later.

Top Briton was Norman Shreeve of Cambridge and Coleridge with a PB 2:16:19.
