– The KLM Curaçao Marathon 2022 was organized for the ninth time last weekend by airline KLM and Curaçao Tourist Board. During this edition, the five, ten, 21.1 and 42.2 kilometers went also over the Queen Juliana Bridge and the Pontoon Bridge. The winner of the marathon was Pekko Nykvist in 03.06.34.
This year, a total of 2,500 participants from 34 countries took part, a new record. Last year there were 2,000. The participants started and ended at the Corendon Mangrove Beach Resort. Three weeks before the start of the event, it was already sold out. The Run in the Sun Foundation organized the event together with The Safety & Emergency Team and a group of 400 volunteers. “This race was legendary precisely because it rained so hard while running,” said Kees van Muiswinkel, organizer of the marathon.
