Rotterdam, The Netherlands. 10th Apr, 2016. Participants run on the Erasmus bridge during the Rotterdam Marathon in Rotterdam. Kenyan Marius Kipserem won the race in personal best 2 hours, 06 minutes and 10 seconds edging out last year's winner Ethiopian Solomon Deksisa. In the women’s contest, Sutume Asefa Kebede went out fast, covering the first 5km in 16:53, a massive 46 seconds ahead of her pursuers and on 2:18 pace. But disaster struck the leader after 30km when she was hit with stitch. As Asefa slowed dramatically, Haylay Gebreslasea chipped away at the deficit en route to her 2:26:15 victory. Conditions were nearly ideal, with a start time temperature of 8C, with little wind and humidity of 62 per cent. © Romy Arroyo Fernandez/Alamy Live News.
