Kenyan and Ethiopian athletes dominate the 2026 Enugu City International Marathon, taking top prizes in the 42-kilometre men’s and women’s events. The race is presented as part of the Enugu International Marathon series, with the 42km categories as the main distance for the top honors.
Premium Times and Vanguard both report that runners from Kenya and Ethiopia secure leading positions and prize winnings. Vanguard describes the pattern as spanning both the men’s and women’s 42km categories, while Premium Times highlights the Kenyan and Ethiopian dominance more generally. Other details, including the full set of winners and prize amounts for each category, are not fully specified in the provided excerpts.
Premium Times also notes a previous benchmark from the inaugural 2025 Enugu City International Marathon, stating that a Kenyan runner won the 42km category and received a $15,000 prize. The 2026 coverage focuses on dominance by Kenya and Ethiopia, but the two outlets differ mainly in how they frame the breakdown of categories and background context.
