In the women’s event of the 2025 Paris Marathon, 25-year-old Ethiopian runner Bedatu Hirpa delivered a thrilling performance, clocking 2:20:45.
She overtook fellow Ethiopian Dera Dida in the final metres, winning by just four seconds — a dramatic repeat of their close battle earlier this year in Dubai, where Hirpa also took first place.
Kenya’s Angela Tanui claimed third place with a strong finish of 2:21:07.
🔥 It’s another shining moment for East African runners on the global stage.
