Stacy Ndiwa celebrates winning the 39th Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday, March 17, 2024.
“I’m so happy about the bonus that I won again this year so I say thank you so much LA Marathon,” Ndiwa continued. “Maybe next year .” The women’s race started with what was scheduled to be a 17-minute head start against the men’s race at 6:43 a.m. However, race officials at Dodger Stadium mistakenly started the men’s field approximately four minutes and 15 seconds early, which altered the Marathon Chase race-within-a-race competition before it began.
However, the 27-year-old who trains in Bozeman, Montana, continued to push through the pain and finished fifth in 2:30:24, her new marathon personal best by four seconds. Morley’s long-term goal is to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Team and run the marathon at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. He secured that tactical victory by breaking away late to win in 2:10:20, a mere five seconds ahead of 30-year-old Cosmas Kiplimo’s second-place time of 2:10:25. Ethiopia’s Belay Tilahum, 29, finished third in 2:12:45.
“It’s hard for me to believe that Olympic marathon was 40 years and to be back here for the 39th running of the LA Marathon really makes it all come into focus,” said Samuelson, 66, after holding the finish line tape for both the men’s and women’s elite races. “It’s great to be back in the city. The city was really good to me 40 years ago. I was in the right place at the right time.
