Tsedat's biography
Twenty four year old Tsedat Ayana is the 4th placed marathon finisher at the 2021 Boston Marathon and has been represented by Moyo Sports since the beginning of his career in 2015.
In early 2019 he smashed his personal best and the course record for the Seville marathon running 2.06.36 for the win. With just ten seconds covering the first four positions he also showcased his ability to sprint when it matters. He backed up his world class credentials further with another podium finish at Gold label Ottawa marathon. A 2.08.53 clocking in a more tactical affair. At the beginning of 2020 Tsedat continued to progress, finishing 3rd in the Dubai marathon in another PB of 2.06.18.
In 2018 he ran in Barcelona (2.09.26) followed by an 8th place at Frankfurt marathon (2.09.39). His progression in the marathon has been built-up steadily over the past five years with each year an improvement in his marathon times:
2.06.18 Dubai, UAE 2020
2.06.36 Seville, Spain 2019
2.09.26 Barcelona, Spain 2018
2.13.31 Chongqing, China 2017
2.14.23 Barcelona, Spain 2016
2.18.07 Luipanshui, China 2015 (Winner on his debut)
The biggest race of his career was running the World Marathon Major Boston Marathon in October 2021. An excellent 4th place proved he can compete with the very best in the world and that running on undulating hills is no problem. The course is known to be one of the most challenging in the world.
Despite his small and slight physique you will never miss Tsedat being around through his vibrant, jokey and out-going personality.
Tsedat features in the aclaimed book Out of Thin Air by Michael Crawley, (Bloomsbury Sport, 2020), where you will read a unique insight into Ethiopian running culture and life.
