World half marathon champion Sebastian Sawe puts together a strong back half of the race to win the men's marathon at the 2024 Valencia Marathon in 2:02:05. That makes for one of the fastest marathon debuts ever as it was Sawe's first-ever run at the distance.

Looking at these dudes just makes me want to go out and run ! Inspiring.

Winning your marathon debut in Valencia with THAT finishing time. It is all very reminiscent of Kelvin Kiptum. Exciting times!

I was so happy to be apart of a significant marathon race for the first time. Valencia was my 6th one and it feels so good, world major esque feeling it felt. Can't wait to run in my first official world major. Currently have a 3:08 PB.

Wow! 2.02.05 is just unreal for a debut. Hopefully we will see him chip away at this over the next few years. 😮

A proud Kenyan moment...what a time to be alive🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Crazy! He is the 5th one to break sub 2:03!

Great job by these athlete's and Valencia after such a mayor tragedy they pulled off all the stops

[yegonkiplangat]

Composure of this guy is one of a kind

[russellking]

Too bad that Kelvin Kiptum gone too soon…

[cubeflipper]

We are saved this guy is the one to break 2

You could watch his progress from the International Space Station, his radioactive heat signature was that strong.

[jerrymwamburi]

That running cadence is eerily similar to that of the late Kelvin Kiptum

[definitelynosebreather]

His running style seems to be very economical and sustainable. Kiptum had this ridiculous endurance to sustain his power strides.

[TomaszKochanowicz]

Kiptum doped, and this one dopes, too.

[edwardtang]

It is almost the same as Kelvin Kiptum’s debut (12 seconds away), can he be the next WR holder?

[GTE_Channel]

2h into a marathon

Regular people: almost halfway

This man: 1 more K

[saljablo]

Dude on the lay back hand bike should’ve hit another gear at the end and finish at 1

Great vid, thanks - but please, please don't put the result in your video titles - there must be a lot of folks as well as myself, who can't watch races that quickly after the event - please, could you not find a way to avoid the spoilers?

[yttyogv]

Was he checked for EPO’s?!? That’s pretty unheard of for a marathon debut.

[АлександрЧёрный-ту]

there are no traces of the flood visible. or it was not in this area?
