Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Team Tatu 001 emerged as the winner of the 2023 Nairobi relay marathon held on Saturday at the Marist International University College in Karen, Nairobi.<\/p>\n

The team completed the six legs of the relay in a time of 2 hours, 28 minutes and 45 seconds, edging out defending champions Roaring Simbas who clocked 2 hours, 33 minutes and 36 seconds.<\/p>\n

In the female category, Rocket Queens clocked 3 hours, 27 minutes and 26 seconds for the 42km race to emerge victorious. Dash Dolls came second after covering the distance in 3 hours, 27 minutes and 27 seconds.<\/p>\n

As for the combined gender teams, Lift-Run-Lift emerged champions having completed the race in 3 hours, 1 minute and 24 seconds.<\/p>\n

The third edition of the competition dubbed ‘The most electrifying sporting event’ attracted a record 75 teams, comprising 450 runners.<\/p>\n

This is an increase from the 40 teams that participated in the second edition in 2022 and the 22 teams that ran in the inaugural edition in 2021.<\/p>\n

The event\u2019s founder, David Thuo, said: \u201cThe record number of participants in this edition is a testament to our vision to create a community that embraces sports and wellness as a way of life\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cGiven the enthusiasm among participants and organisers, there is no doubt that the Nairobi marathon relay will continue growing in future editions”.<\/p>\n

The Nairobi Marathon Relay which mainly attracts recreational, amateur and semi-professional runners, creates a unique experience of running a full marathon in teams offering both excitement and an increased sense of competition, with the baton exchange point providing the most excitement.<\/p>\n

Multiple Paralympic gold medalist and former full and half marathon world record holder, Henry Wanyoike and his guide Paul Wanyoike were among this year\u2019s participants running for Team Jelani.<\/p>\n

The eldest entry in the field was 73-year-old Surinder Singh, who participated in his third event, for Team Jelani.<\/p>\n
