Title: Madrid Marathon
Post by: Double5 on April 30, 2013, 10:58:19 AM
I was visiting my son in Madrid for a few days and went down to see the Marathon on Sunday. The weather was great for running around 3 degrees at the start of the race and only building up to 9 or 10 degrees by the end. The course itself is quite undulating and is the best course for a PB. The organisation of the race looked very good although the spectators were a bit sparse.
The race was won by Francis Kiprop (2:10:37) from Nickson Kurgat (2:10:54).

A few photo's from the day.

Thanks, the fifth shot is the leading pack at around 2.5km, around 12 in the pack and they are all Kenyan.
