Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) rangers Samson Lemayan and Lydia Simiyu overcame nagging injuries to lift the 26th edition of Lewa Safari Marathon at the scenic Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Meru County on Saturday.
Lemayan clocked 2:27:04 to defend the men’s title while debutant Simiyu cut the tape in 2:50:39 to bag the women’s crown.
“It feels great to retain the title. The course favoured me because the weather was the same as last season. I had adequate preparations ahead of this race and this is the reason I was able to clinch victory with less struggle,” Lemayan told Standard Sports.
