Bekelech Gudeta to Debut at Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon by Paul Gains

Ethiopia’s Bekelech Gudeta to Debut at Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon by Paul Gains A first-time marathon requires a great leap of faith as any distance runner can attest. And so it is that Ethiopian distance star Bekelech Gudeta, who will turn 22 nine days before the race, enters the unknown at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon tackling one of the strongest women’s fields assembled on Canadian soil. Though she has no experience at the classic marathon distance she has performed admirably these past two years in the half-marathon, running under 1:08 on three occasions, most recently on September 15th. That time of 1:07:21 earned her 6th place in the Copenhagen Half Marathon, which, like Toronto, is an IAAF Gold Label race. A year ago, she recorded her personal best 1:07:03 on the same course. Proudly representing her nation at the 2018 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Valencia she finished an impressive 8th helping Ethiopia win the team gold medal. Now the challenge is to make a successful transition to the full marathon distance which has proven difficult for many in the past. “I am really happy to start the marathon,” she reveals. “I have run some half marathons and I think I can run a (good) marathon as a half marathon is a faster pace than the marathon. I started preparation for the Toronto marathon from June. My target is to run a fast time in Toronto.” The women’s course record in Toronto is 2:22:29 and was set a year ago by Mimi Belete the Ethiopian who now runs for Bahrain.
