Some six thousand participants today braved an icy cold and a biting wind during the 37th edition of the Utrecht Science Park Marathon. The temperature was around freezing, but due to the northeast wind it felt about ten degrees colder.
Nevertheless, this year again a large number of fanatical participants started at the Cambridgelaan. Along the 21-kilometer course, the almost as fanatical spectators encouraged the athletes. Winner of the entire marathon is Mohammed Nurhussein from Eritrea. He passed the finish with a time of 2: 18.34.
Runners could participate in various disciplines. With the running competition money was also raised for KWF Cancer control . About 70.00 euros will be donated to the charity this year.
The leading group measures the winner Nurhussein.

De Nieuwegracht.
