The 25th Ljubljana Marathon was organised in the Slovenian capital. It was slightly downsized with no races for schoolchildren and no elite runners from abroad. After last year’s edition was cancelled, this year all races took place today with runners competing at distances 10, 21 and 42 kilometres.
First on 42 km was Ernet Kibet Tarus of Kenia with a time of 2 hours 22 minutes and 39 seconds. Second was Serbian runner Marko Ranković and third Slovenian Janez Mulej who reached a personal record and also reached the title of Slovenian champion. First on the half-marathon were Primož Kobe among men and Neja Kršinar among women – both from Slovenia.
The results on the 10 km run include a Slovene women’s record for street runs achieved by Klara Lukan, who was first among female runners with the time 32 minutes and 32 seconds. First among the male runners was Mitja Rizmal.
