Manchester City Marathon

Post-Race Review/ Results

Benjamin Ndaya won a five kilometer race earlier in the year after arriving two minutes late for the start. He could have arrived well over ten minutes late to the Manchester City Marathon and still won. His time of 2 hours and 40 minutes was the first U.S. marathon win for the native born Kenyan who lives in Lowell.

Pre-Race Review/ Lineup

Manchester City Marathon defending champions Scott Rowe, Dover,and Kerry Litka, New Hampton, had not signed up for the 26.2 mile race with an increasing field of nearly 2,000 participants. That should leave the field wide open. Durham's Johanna Fickenscher seems to be the clear favorite in the women's race by posting a 1 hour and 23 minute time for the recent Boston Half-Marathon.
