The Venice Marathon is, as always, a big party for everybody: parteciparnts and public.

This year’s winners are: John Komen (1st, new record of the track: 2h08′13″), Paul Samoei (2nd) and Benson Cherono (3rd).

But all the partecipants (almost 7000, a record) are winners!!! Many many people love this competition for the location and for the public you find from the beginning (Stra) until the end (Riva Sette Martiri, Saint Mark – Venice). Through all the track many people cheer the athlets and many bands played music.

We are all waiting for next Year’s appointment: the 25th edition is an important Anniversary for the Venice Marathon!
