It’s very common in all Abbott major marathons. It’s about the pay out . Where there is more money, Kenyans will dominate. For example, this is Hellen Obiri pay out today :6 Kenyans taking all the medals.
$100,000 for 1st place
$50,000 for new course record
$250,000 Nike sponsorship for win
$ 100,000 appearance fee
Plus other incentives pay
So total in a single day is minimum
$500,000… that’s a half million dollars in under 2 hrs 30 minutes. Go to Eldoret city and witness how the dollar millions won are spent especially in real estate. And people wonder why Kenyans do what they do best …😜
