The Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon 2023 saw its course record for the Full Marathon Women’s Open category smashed by Beatrice Jelagat Cherop from Kenya when she erased the previous mark of 2:34:37 set in 2011 by Rose Kerubo Nyangacha by close to two minutes when she recorded a time of 2:32:51.
Kiprop Tonui from Kenya beat out some stiff competition to win the blue-ribbon Full Marathon Men’s Open category in a time of 02:13:49. Kiprop finished second in the category four times before but found the right formula this year to finally clinch the coveted title. “The weather was nice today, not too hot, so I could come from behind and push to win the race,” she added. Both winners took home US$15,000 each.

Adam flagged off the Full and Half Marathon categories accompanied by Mak Joon Nien, title sponsor Standard Chartered Malaysia’s CEO and Datuk Yvonne Chia, Chairman of Standard Chartered Malaysia. In line with Standard Chartered’s efforts in promoting diversity and inclusion, the Bank hosted 120 community runners that consisted of two groups in the 5km fun run category, and 35 running buddies from the Bank.
