Surprise winner at the New Year's Eve run

The runners from Ethiopia and Kenya were the big favorites in the 2019 New Year's Eve run. But Eyob Ghebrehiwet, who came to Italy from Eritrea with his family at the age of 12, stayed in the leading group for 8 laps and still had the most reserves at the finish . In 22.21 minutes, the 29-year-old won ahead of co-favorite Telahun Bekele, while third place went to Kenyan Amos Kipruto.

The course record for the women (5km) was shaky in ideal running weather. The Kenyan Margaret Kipkemboi reached the finish after 4 laps in 15.30 minutes and thus equalized the course record. Behind the vice world champion from Doha 2019 was Netsane Gudeta from Ethiopia, who missed her 3rd victory in a row, ahead of Gloriah Kite from Kenya.

Home victory in the fun run The BOclassic Ladurner fun run took place early on Tuesday afternoon. Since 2004, it has heralded the start of the elite races at the renowned Bolzano New Year's Eve Run and has since then also formed the prologue to the popular Top7 running series. Hannes Perkmann from Sarnen and Marlene Windisch from Germany took the day's victory on the approximately 5,1 kilometer long route in the heart of Bolzano's old town. A total of around 550 amateur runners ended the last day of this decade with a sporting fireworks display.
