Tafa’s triumph was closely followed by compatriot Fikre Bekele and Kenyan athlete Douglas Chebii, who showcased exceptional endurance and skill throughout the race. Tafa crossed the finish line with a commendable time of 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 58 seconds, solidifying his status as one of the marathon’s standout performers.

In the women’s race, Kenyan runner Naom Jebet, the reigning champion of the 2023 Nairobi City Marathon, made her mark on the international stage with a remarkable victory in Madrid.

Ethiopia’s Bontu Bekele trailed behind Jebet, finishing second in the women’s race, while fellow Ethiopian Kebene Chala secured third place, rounding out the podium. The dominance of Kenyan and Ethiopian runners underscored their exceptional talent and dedication to the sport, leaving a lasting impression on spectators and competitors alike.
