Helalia Johannes and Tomas Reinord won the men’s and women’s Old Mutual Marathon 21-kilometre races in Windhoek on Saturday.
Reinord finished ahead of Jeremiah Shaliaxwe, while Kefas Kondjashili was in third place in the men’s 21km race.
Helalia Johannes dominated the women’s 21km, followed by Lavinia Haitope in second and Leeana Ekandjo in third place.
The 10km men’s race was dominated by Daniel Paulus (first) and Simon Paulus (second). Ella Uugwanga secured third place.
The women’s 10km race was won by Ester Haitope, with Victoria Kaliteka in second place. Elisabeth Shivute ran the race of her life for a third-place finish.
“We can definitely confirm that those are the winners of the races, but we still have to get the times from the time keeper. I believe that the time slots will be given to the media by Monday,” one of the organisers said.
The first leg of the series was held in Swakopmund in June, while the second leg was in Keetmanshoop in July. The third leg was held in Oshakati, also last month.
Winners of this year’s Old Mutual Victory Races include Mynhardt Kauanivi, Sophia Nambambi, Kefas Kondjashili and Josephine Dumeni.
Old Mutual has been the main sponsor of the event for the past 18 years.
