Marathon Results – Your Quick Guide to Latest Race Times

If you love running or just want to know who won the big races, you are in the right place. Ovio News Africa brings you fresh marathon results from every corner of the continent. We keep it simple: race name, date, winner and finishing times all in one spot.

How We Gather Marathon Data

Our team follows official race websites, athlete social media feeds and live timing platforms. When a marathon finishes we pull the top ten finishers, note any records broken and add short notes about weather or surprise performances. This way you get reliable numbers without scrolling through endless pages.

What You’ll Find on Our Marathon Results Page

Each entry shows the marathon name, location and date at the top. Below that you see the winner’s name, country and finishing time. We also list the next four podium finishers so you can compare close finishes. If a runner set a new course record we highlight it in bold.

For example, the 2025 Cape Town Marathon finished on March 15 with Kenya’s John Mwangi taking first place in 2:06:34. He beat South Africa’s Sipho Dlamini (2:07:12) and Ethiopia’s Amina Yusuf (2:08:01). The race was run under cool, windy conditions which helped fast times.

Another recent highlight is the Nairobi Half Marathon held on April 10. Although it’s a half distance, we include it because many marathon runners use it as a tune‑up. Tanzania’s Faith Njoroge smashed the women’s record with 1:07:45, shaving off ten seconds from the previous best.

Our page also shows links to full result PDFs and video highlights when they are available. You can download the complete list of finishers if you need more details for coaching or analysis.

Want to stay ahead of the next big race? We update the marathon calendar every week with upcoming events in Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, Morocco and beyond. Each calendar entry includes the registration deadline, prize money and a short note on the course profile (flat, hilly, mixed). This helps you plan training or travel.

We know many readers track personal progress against elite times. That’s why we add a simple comparison tool: enter your finishing time and see how you rank against the winners of recent African marathons. It’s a quick way to gauge where you stand without any fancy math.

If you have questions about a specific race, feel free to comment below each result. Our editors reply within 24 hours and will correct any mistakes if new data appears.
