Bethwel Kibet won the 2026 Buenos Aires Marathon in 2:08:28, finishing 11 seconds ahead of Rwanda’s John Hakizimana. The men’s race took place on September 20, 2026.

Four Kenyans in the top five

Felix Kirwa finished third in 2:10:24, Kipkemoi Kiprono fourth in 2:10:49 and Vincent Kibor Raimoi fifth in 2:11:50. Four Kenyan runners placed among the first five finishers.

Why published times differ

World Athletics and Argentine public sports broadcaster DeporTV both list Kibet’s winning time as 2:08:28. A Buenos Aires City Government recap gives 2:08:22, a six-second difference. This report uses the World Athletics result, which matches DeporTV. The result is a race time, not a course or national record claim.
