Frankfurt, Germany - Wilfred Kigen of Kenya won this third Dresdner Kleinwort Frankfurt Marathon in a row on Sunday morning, breaking his own course record with a time of 2:07:58. But, as he admitted, it was the toughest of all. He was headed for most of the way by compatriot, Hosea Rotich, who was competing in only his third Marathon. But Kigen proved the tougher in the last kilometre, pulling away to win by 80 metres from Rotich, who ran a personal best of 2:08:11. Another Kenyan, Sammy Kurgat came through the field to take third in 2:08:38, also a personal best.
