Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Namibian long-distance runners Tangeni Sakaria and Alina Armas won the second edition of the Vivo Energy Windhoek Marathon, dominating their respective categories on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Vivo Energy, the marketer and distributor of Shell-branded fuels and lubricants in Namibia, hosted the second edition of the Vivo Energy Windhoek Marathon to raise funds for charitable projects.<\/p>\n

The marathon attracted more than 2 000 runners, who competed in different categories, including the five kilometre (km), 10 km, half-marathon and full marathon.<\/p>\n

Sakaria was in a class of his own on the day, and won the elite men\u2019s category with a time of two hours, 25 minutes and 19 seconds (02:25:19).<\/p>\n

Tomas Rainhold came second in a time of 02:29:23, and Paulus Iiyambo completed the podium places with a time of 02:35:23.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s category, Armas displayed her dominance by finishing the race five minutes ahead of the nearest competitor.<\/p>\n

She won the women\u2019s race with a time of 02:54:27.<\/p>\n

Beata Naigambo came in second with a time of 02:59:23, and Ottillie Aimwata came in third with a time of 03:05:13.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Nampa after the race, Armas said she had a great time running the race, and the chosen route suited her well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe weather was good, and the hills helped me maintain my pace while leading. I feel happy to have been crowned champion.<\/p>\n

I am thankful to all the other competitors who made the event fun, and Vivo Energy for hosting this race,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Wheelchair racer Roodley Goagoseb, who also competed in the championship, told this agency he had fun, but found the hilly route challenging.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a hill in Kleine Kuppe that made it difficult for me to maintain my pace. Despite the challenge, I am happy to finish the race, and looking forward to participating in similar competitions in the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
