Zachary Kihara (25) from Kenya, took first place in this year's third Edinburgh Marathon in what is his first ever marathon.
Zachary joined 4500 marathon runners on the redesigned course which has seen the removal of the scenic but gruelling Arthur's Seat and other slower sections in order to set faster and more competitive times and attract elite competitors.
Originally entered as a pace maker, Kihara overtook his fellow countryman and defending Champion John Mutai in the last 100 yards from to win the men's race, in 2:15:26. |
