The 20th edition of the Eindhoven Marathon (Sunday Oct.12th) produced a very good men's race.
In ideal weather (15-16 degrees C, sunny, nearly no wind) it was very much a family affair with the Kenyan brothers Willy Cheruiyot, taking his third win at Eindhoven in a course record of 2.09.05.
He outsprinted his younger brother Wilson Chelal Cheruiyot with one second. Vivian Ruyters (NED) won the women's race in a PB of 2.36.36.
