Trans Nzoia County is brimming with pride following the spectacular victory of native son John Korir at the 2025 Boston Marathon. Governor George Natembeya has extended heartfelt congratulations to Korir, whose commanding win has placed him firmly among the world’s marathon elite.
Korir crossed the finish line in an astonishing 2:04:45, the second-fastest winning time in the prestigious marathon’s 129-year history. This latest triumph comes just months after his emphatic win at the 2024 Chicago Marathon, solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest long-distance runners of his generation.
"On behalf of the Trans Nzoia County Government, I extend my warmest congratulations to Mr. John Korir on this incredible achievement," said Governor Natembeya. "His discipline, resilience, and unwavering commitment to excellence continue to inspire athletes and admirers alike, not only here in Trans Nzoia but across the globe."
The Governor praised Korir’s relentless pursuit of excellence and highlighted the runner's role in raising the profile of Kenyan athletics internationally. "We are proud to call him one of our own. His victories are a reflection of the talent, determination, and spirit that define our county."
Governor Natembeya also noted that Korir’s continued success on the global stage serves as a beacon of hope and motivation to aspiring athletes in Trans Nzoia and beyond. “As a county, we celebrate this historic milestone and look forward to supporting Mr. Korir as he continues to fly the Kenyan flag high."
John Korir’s back-to-back major marathon wins have made headlines around the world, and his Boston performance is being hailed as one of the greatest in recent memory. With his eyes now set on future races—and likely Olympic glory—Trans Nzoia and all of Kenya will be cheering him every step of the way.
