XL Zurich Maratón de Sevilla

The Ethiopian, who ran alone for half of the race, confirmed his status as favourite in his debut over the distance, winning the race in 2h05:15, while in the women's category his compatriot Anchinalu Dessie Genaneh won.

The Ethiopian athlete Selemon Barega will be the star of the starting line of the 40th anniversary of the Zurich Maraton de Sevilla (Spain) on 23 February, the flattest marathon course in Europe. The expectation for Barega's debut in this distance is maximum in the world of athletics.

The Zurich Maraton de Sevilla is extending the number of registrations to celebrate its 40th edition and to give a response to the athletes who are currently on the waiting list since last August 12th when the 12,000 available bibs were sold out.
