The race also served as the National Half Marathon Championships and drew Namibia’s top marathon athletes. The 44-year-old Swartbooi was in a class of his own as he won the 21km event in a time of 1:03:54. Johannes Naitembu finished more than 400m behind in second place, while Erich Goeieman finished a further 200m behind in third place. Vilho Paulus finished fourth and Robert Kaxuxuena fifth.
