Merga, who was passed in the last quarter-mile and finished fourth in Beijing, pulled away before Heartbreak Hill and won in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 42 seconds — almost a full minute ahead of Kenya’s Daniel Rono and American Ryan Hall.

With the St. George marathon being one of the pre-big run to get to Boston, it will be awesome to see how are runners perform.

Good luck to all!
