Tesfaye Deriba won Zurich Mararat de Barcelona 2025 with Chrono 2h04’13, a new Catalan test note. Kenyan Sharon Chelimo defeated in the category of women with 2h19’33.
“I’m so good, the circuit is so good and I’m excited to win this career,” he said as he crossed the end line as a trial winner. “I worked hard to achieve a good brand, but I didn’t expect to beat my personal brand so margin,” he said with a big smile. “The records are to break them, I am very happy to have achieved this brand, but definitely someone will beat it soon and I will be happy,” he added.
This year’s edition showed a sign of so many levels and in similar personal marks -of eight men with notes below 2h06′-, that the elite remained compact during most of the test. Over Ecuador’s Testing at 1H02’15, a dozen runners maintain hope to meet the test. The Good Work of Hares – led by Vincent Nyageo, who reached KM 33 – facilitated that favorites could maintain a high and equal rhythm from the first racial bars. In the absence of 9 kilometers, demolition was launched for victory with a destruction of rhythm change in which Cornelius Kibet could only be answered. In the background, the Ochari gun meters and focused on the secure of his place at the podium.
A very fast circuit earlier last year and that was a victory, with an exit in the middle of the city, in Passeig de Gràcia and with the purpose of the triomf arch. A layout with no slopes, with only 47 curves and is very monumental. A month before, Jacob Kiplimo had shown that on the streets of Barcelona you could run very fast, with the massive world of the half marathon world in 56’42.

Participation of the 27,000 runner was the best honors in the dream of pioneer Ramón Oliu, who ran the 1976 New York Marathon and from that experience he took the idea of organizing an equal test in Barcelona. Because races like Big Apple or Boston are always glass to look at. An Oliu -worth it for four years to materialize because at that time in Spain running down the street, it just ran inside the stadiums and the city did not grant permissions to organize it. The first 1980 edition of Barcelona established in Barcelona the concept of running for the fun of running, something is now fully normalized.
