Taipei, Nov. 8 (CNA) Kenyan runner Richard Mutisya won the men’s division of the inaugural Matsu Marathon on Sunday in the outlying Matsu Islands just a day after capturing another marathon in Taiwan proper.

Mutisya, who finished the Matsu marathon in a relatively slow 3 hours 20 minutes and 43 seconds admitted to fatigue after winning the Taroko Gorge Marathon on Saturday in a time of 2 hours 28 minutes.

“It was very tiring but I will come back to challenge again if there is one next year,” Mutisya said.
