Last week I told you about the Maasai Warriors who were running the London Marathon.

Well the race is over. I had a hard time finding their results but here they are:

Lengamai – 5:24:46
Isaya – 5:24:47
Kesika – DNF?
Ninna – 5:24:47
Nguvu – 5:24:45
Taico – DNF?
Paul (Soldier Bob) – 5:24:47

You can tell what order they finished in! I’m not sure if Kesika and Taico truly DNFed or if I just can’t find their results. You can find out more about each runner here. Hopefully they’ll update their websites so I can give you more detailed information! The BBC had this to say (from before the race I think):

Six Maasai warriors certainly came dressed in elaborate costumes of headdresses, shields and jewellery but these were their every-day clothes – only their shoes made from car tyres were a new addition.

Isaya, one of the warriors, seemed confident his “comfortable” footwear would not pose a problem over the distance, but was less sure about the weather.

“It’s very cold. It’s very, very cold,” he told the BBC.

He said he anticipated his group, who aim to raise money for clean water for their home village in Tanzania, would cross the finish line after four hours, slowed down by their plans to sing and dance along the route.

In case you didn’t know, Ryan Hall got 5th place overall and ran an impressive 2:06:17. Martin Lel from Kenya set a new course record in 2:05:15 You can go here to see and article with links to several recaps and you can also watch the 3 hour video coverage provided by WCSN.com!
