Pakistani runners participated in the marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon in 2024. With a time of three hours, six minutes, and seven seconds, Pakistani competitor Faysal Shafi earned a spot in the Boston Marathon in 2024.
Eliud Kipchoge’s new record time of 2 hours, 1 minute, and 9 seconds brightened a cloudy morning in the German city. You’ll have to wait and see what happens next, he said at the post-race press conference, but he gave a hint that Berlin had not seen the last of him. A beaming Kipchoge remarked that he is African, and we think you pursue one rabbit at a time in Africa. So the Berlin Marathon 2022 was the “rabbit” that our team chased.
The two-time Olympic champion in Rio and Tokyo was on track to surpass the elusive two-hour mark as the halfway point passed at 59:51. However, despite a minor slowdown, Kipchoge persevered to surpass his previous best of 2:01:39 from Berlin in 2018. Salman Khan, Danish Elahi, and Ali Khurshid competed in the 35-year-old age group, while Pakistani athletes Faysal Shafi, Nausherwan, and others competed in the 40-year-old age group. With a time of three hours, six minutes, and seven seconds, Pakistani competitor Faysal Shafi earned a spot in the Boston Marathon in 2024.
Good luck to everyone running the @berlinmarathon tomorrow! ⭐️
