ECA MARATHON EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP – SLAVONSKI BROD 2023

Marathon Europeans are known for their unusual venues and many times in countries without any tradition in marathon. Croatia alrady hosted an European in 2018 but in a different venue, Metkovic. This time, Slavonski Brod was the choosen location.

As expected, Mads Pedersen was one of the stars of the event, winning the long distance race almost one minute ahead Ivan Alonso, replicating the results of 2022 in Denmark. Mads had got the Bronze Medal in the short race a couple of days before.

Very solid results also for Zsofia Voros, Silver in the long distance, and Kristina Bedec, Silver in the short.

Philip Knudsen's Gold in the U23 race was not a surprise, he has been consolidating his position in the marathon world for some years now. The surprise was Katerina Milova's Gold in the women's U23. She would be 4^th in the senior race, making her an emerging talent.
