ISTANBUL, TURKEY - NOVEMBER 07: An African tribe has participated in the 43rd Istanbul Marathon with their buckets to draw attention to the clean water problem in their region. "In your country, people run for a marathon but in our country, every day is like a marathon because we need to walk long distances to get clean water," one of the members of the Maasai tribe said. During the marathon, the members of the tribe sang songs, danced, and carried buckets on their heads. Uganda's Victor Kiplangat and Kenya's Sheila Jerotich won the marathon. Kiplangat finished the 42-kilometer (26 miles) run in two hours, 10 minutes, and 18 seconds in the men's category. Kenya's Robert Kipkemboi trailed five seconds behind Kiplangat to be the runner-up and Solomon Mutai from Uganda came third as he finished the men's race seven seconds behind the leader. In the women's category, Sheila Jerotich from Kenya came first in two hours, 24 minutes, and 15 seconds. Her countrywoman Jackline Chepngeno finished in second place, covering the distance in two hours, 24 minutes, and 21 seconds. She was followed by Ayantu Abdi from Ethiopia in two hours, 24 minutes, and 45 seconds. A total of 20,000 people participated in the public run categories, while 54 elite athletes ran in the competition. The marathon, a long-distance running race and the only intercontinental marathon in the world, was held in three categories: the 42,195 meters (138,435 feet) run, as well as the 15-kilometer (9.3 miles) and eight-kilometer public run. Those who finished first, second and third in men's and women's categories got $35,000, $20,000, and $10,000, respectively. (Footage by Atilla Sevil/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
