Peruvian athlete wins Santiago de Chile 42K Marathon

The Peruvian athlete won the 42K Marathon in Santiago de Chile on Sunday, where she ran alone at the front for the last 18 kilometers. Our long-distance runner made a time of 2:34:07.

Upon reaching the finish line, Inés Melchor, 30, raised a sign that said "Peru #OneForce", remembering the victims of the mudslides and floods that have devastated the north of the country.

The athlete from Huancavelica, who won the traditional Chilean race for the second time, said that "everything went well from the beginning of the competition" and that she ran "as planned."

It should be noted that her teammate, Rocío Cantará, also won on this day, although she did so in the half marathon. A double celebration for Peru.
