Abel Antón, the Spanish double world marathon champion and 1997 Prince of Asturias Award for Sports winner, confirmed that Berlin will host his farewell marathon in 2027. The 60-year-old athlete made the announcement during a congress celebrating the 60th anniversary of Aural Hearing Centers in Valencia.
The choice of Berlin for his final race is significant, as it was in the German capital where Antón achieved one of his major victories in 1996 with a time of 2 hours 9 minutes and 15 seconds. The marathon champion from Soria, who also won world titles in Athens (1997) and Seville (1999), will run alongside the Aural Team for this emotional farewell to his competitive career. tbzikra.org
