Moroccans in the Marathon
This year’s second and third place winners of the Boston Marathon were both Moroccan! Although Kenyan Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot won first place, Abderrahime Bouramdane of Fez came in second, with Khalid El Boumlili finishing in third place. Both men are Olympic hopefuls.
Unfortunately, no Moroccan women placed in the top group this year.
