| Overview by IAAF |
|
 |
| The race started slowly at 14:00, virtually the hottest part of the day (26°C). The first 5Km was completed in 16:08 and Tanzania’s Akonay led through 10Km in 31:59 and 15Km in 47:13. Turbo passed halfway in 66:54, but the first serious break came at 27Km, when Santos moved into a lead of 30m. Cerón was second with European champion Fiz third plus Whitehead, Nerurkar and Juzdado. Cerón and Fiz were in front at 30Km, with Santos safe in third place. The Mexican broke clear at 38Km and seemed to be heading for victory until Fiz made his move approaching 40Km. His 5Km to that point took just 14:48 and he strode past the Mexican to win by 32 seconds. It was his fourth victory in five marathons. “When Cerón sped up I had to let him go,” said the winner, “but I never gave up.” Having forgotten his own kit, Fiz ran in a vest borrowed from 20Km walk medallist Valentí Massana. |
| The Men's Marathon at the 1995 World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden was held on Saturday August 12, 1995. |
