Hayle and Anchialem look to defend titles at Tata Mumbai Marathon
Defending champions and event record holders Ethiopians Hayle Lemi Berhanu and Anchialem Haymanot will headline the 19th edition of the Tata Mumbai Marathon, a World Athletics Gold Label Road Race, scheduled on Sunday, January 21.
Earlier this year, Berhanu clocked 2:07:32s and Haymanot logged an incredible 2:24:15s on her debut, to win in Mumbai with new event records.
Later, Haymanot improved her timing to 2:22:23s in Amsterdam while finishing sixth where Berhanu posted a season-best 2:05:48s to finish at fifth.
Speaking about returning to the Tata Mumbai Marathon, Hayle said, "I won the 2023 edition of the Mumbai marathon under perfect conditions. It was indeed a surprise and unexpected win at that time. But I want to make sure that I replicate my victory in January as I'm confident of finishing on top in 2024".
