Belle, Ernesta the big winners

There seems to be no stopping Geno Belle in his quest to become the new face of Seychelles’ long distance running as he continues to dominate such races and last weekend he was victorious among the senior athletes in the 10km distance of the Crown Beach Eco-Friendly Run.

Belle, who earlier this year won the annual Eco-Friendly Marathon, was the first athlete to cross the finish line after running in the 10km race in a time of 37 minutes 49 seconds (37:49), about five minutes faster than second placed Gerald Jaomaro who took 42:32 to complete the race. Sajith Nawarathne was third with a time of 1h04:10.

For the women, it was Florise Ernesta who finished first, crossing the line after 55:36, while Carol Palmyre was second in a time of 58:11. Maggy Harray was third with a time of 1h00:30.
