Overview
- The Mendoza International Marathon, which finished Sunday at Parque General San Martín, crowned Carlos Becerra in 2:22:27 and Belén Alegre in 2:53:43 over the 42K.
- The event offered four distances with staggered starts that funneled to the park finish, including 42K from the Cacheuta bridges, 21K from Portal Vistalba, 10K from the Palmares Valley roundabout, and a 4K in the park.
- Coverage reported more than 9,000 participants from over 20 countries, while other reports cited upward of 11,000, reflecting differing counts for the mass event.
- Provincial and city authorities ran a planned traffic operation from about 08:00 to 14:30, closing stretches of Boulogne Sur Mer, Emilio Civit, Julio A. Roca and the south-to-north lane of Corredor del Oeste.
- Organized by Fundación Filípides, the race mixed elite results with community stories, including an 88-year-old participant who completed the 4K recreational run.
