Kenyan Stacy Ndiwa won the women's portion of the 38th Los Angeles Marathon Sunday and claimed a $10,000 bonus by finishing ahead of men's winner Jemal Yimer of Ethiopia.
The elite women started 18 minutes, 19 seconds ahead of the elite men for the race's Morgan & Morgan Marathon Chase. The time difference is based on a calculation of the differences in lifetime finishes among the top seeded entrants.
For the women, Kenya claimed the top three spots as Martha Akeno finished second at 2:34:25.68 and Grace Kahura was third at 2:38:15.67. "As we emerge from the pandemic more and more people are comfortable in large gatherings and the increased field size aligns with year-over-year growth in race participation across the country," Dan Cruz, the marathon's head of communications, told City News Service.
The men's race had been won by a Kenyan every year since 1999, except for 2011, 2014 and 2020 when it was won by Ethiopians. A U.S. runner last won in 1994. There were more than 3,100 runners from Students Run LA, an after- school mentoring and physical fitness program offered at more than 185 public schools in the Greater Los Angeles Area.Its premier charities are:
-- Students Off And Running , which provides no-cost Los Angeles Marathon training to hundreds of children in need living in the Santa Clarita Valley.
