While King Winter ruled the marathon last year, great weather conditions prevailed today in Germany’s Sauerland at the SKS marathon in Sundern-Hagen. KMC-Mitsubishi-Koga was there with Ramses Bekkenk, Bram Rood and Ad de Brabander at the start. 
After winning last year, Ramses Bekkenk finished third today in this 100 kilometre long race over 2500 altimeters. Ahead of him were the same competitors as in the Kellerwald marathon. The Danish Søren Nissen claimed first place before Peter Hermann. Bram Rood came fifth after Hans Becking, while teammate Ad de Brabander crossed the finish line in twentieth place.
