A Nigerian Governor, Seyi Makinde of Oyo state has participated in the US marathon
He successfully completed the Houston half-marathon in two hours 53 minutes, despite freezing temperatures of 1°C.

Makinde disclosed this via X.

According to the governor, the finish was faster than his achievement at the 2022 Berkeley half-marathon in San Francisco, California.

“Glad to have completed the Houston Half Marathon in 2 hours 53 minutes today.

“Though conditions were tough with freezing temperatures at 1 degree Celsius, I finished faster than the Berkeley Half Marathon which I ran about two years ago.

“I also took part in a 5k fun run yesterday, which I completed in 38 minutes,”
he wrote.

The Houston half-marathon is part of the three-race annual sporting event in Houston, United States (US) alongside the marathon and 5km race.

Ethiopia’s Addisu Gobena won this year’s men’s half marathon, clocking 59 minutes and 17 seconds.
