Thirty-seven years after crossing the finish line Thirty-seven years after crossing the finish line as the New York City Marathon champion, Tanzania’s Juma Ikangaa is returning to the city that holds one of his proudest sporting memories.

Ikangaa is among marathon legends invited to mark the 50th anniversary of the race’s five-borough course, with this year’s marathon scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, November 1, 2026.
He left for  New York on Wednesday night.
“I am excited to be part of this 50th anniversary. It has reminded me of my proud victory of 1989,” Ikangaa told The Arusha News from New York. “It is great to touch base on old memories”, he added.

On November 5, 1989, Ikangaa completed the marathon in two hours, eight minutes and one second, winning the men’s title and setting a course record. His performance placed Tanzania at the centre of attention on one of distance running’s biggest stages.

His New York triumph crowned a distinguished international career that included victories in Melbourne in 1983 and 1984, Tokyo in 1984 and 1986, Fukuoka in 1986 and Beijing in 1987.
Now, the invitation offers him an opportunity to revisit the setting of that triumph and join others whose achievements helped shape the race’s history.

Among the former champions for the festivities is American Bill Rodgers from Newington, Connecticut. Rodgers won four consecutive New York City Marathon titles from 1976 to 1979, beginning with the first race through all five boroughs.
The marathon began in 1970 within Central Park. In 1976, it expanded into a citywide race through Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx—the transformation being celebrated this year.

Nearly 60,000 runners are expected to tackle the 42.195-kilometre course before finishing in Central Park.
For Ikangaa, the journey back brings an opportunity to celebrate a race that became part of his own story—and a victory that put Tanzania in its record books.

Tanzania has strengthened health surveillance at i Tanzania has strengthened health surveillance at its borders following confirmed Ebola infections in neighbouring Kenya, with additional travel-history checks reported at Namanga and the Horohoro–Lunga Lunga crossing on the Tanga–Mombasa route.

National measures introduced on October 17 included mandatory health declarations, temperature screening, sanitation and 21-day monitoring of travellers assessed as being at high risk of infection.

According to the Health Ministry, Tanzania has not reported an Ebola outbreak. media reports indicate that the ministry has mobilised more than 500 medical personnel, alongside screening equipment and other supplies, to strengthen surveillance at entry points.

The Arusha Regional Medical Officer (RMO), Dr Alex Massawe, also assured The Arusha News that the region was so far completely safe. In Tanga, a ministry update highlighted cross-border movement through Horohoro–Lunga Lunga as a key reason for strengthening preparedness. Public Health Education Coordinator, Dr Francis Marwa, emphasised the importance of early preparations.

In Kilimanjaro Region, Health Minister, Mr Mohamed Mchengerwa,  directed officials at the Holili and Tarakea border posts to intensify traveller screening during a recent visit to Rombo District. The heightened precautions come as Kenya recorded nine confirmed Ebola cases and two deaths by October 23.

According to Kenya’s Health Cabinet, Mr Aden Duale, as of October 26, 2026, Kenya had 98 people under observation in quarantine for possible Ebola exposure, while 20 had been released after completing 21 days of monitoring without developing symptoms. The country had recorded nine confirmed Ebola cases, including two deaths, with the remaining seven patients stable and receiving treatment. Those released were symptom-free contacts, rather than recovered Ebola patients.

The Democratic Republic of  Congo (DRC) remains the epicentre of the outbreak, which began in May. By October 23, the country had recorded 9,816 confirmed infections and 4,757 deaths, according to the United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
