President’s message The more some people speak about the limits on human performance the more we hear of new records in all disciplines. We are reminded that it is impossible to hold back progress.

Distance running is no different and 2017 was no exception. Records were broken regularly, throughout the year, proving that sport is one of the best ways for us to surpass our own limits.

Marathons and distance race competitions brought forth several outstanding women’s performances.

World records were broken by Joyciline Jepkosgei in Prague (10km, Half Marathon) and in Valencia (half marathon again) and by Mary Keitany in London where she set a new womens-only world record for the Marathon.

Lifetime Achievement award, all within a warm and friendly atmosphere. The 11th AIMS Symposium followed the next day and the programme closed with the Athens Marathon, the Authentic at the Panathenaic Stadium.

The XXII World Congress of AIMS will be held on 6-8 September this coming year in Tallinn, Estonia at the time when the country itself celebrates its Centenary. This provides another opportunity to uplift both the social and competitive spirit of our sport in such a beautiful location. The Tallinn Marathon organisers are already well on their way towards hosting a great Congress.

The first AIMS Africa Conference was held in September 2017 in South Africa organised by the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon. Many race organisers attended to share their experience and expertise on “How to build world class marathons and distance events in Africa”. ®

Hosted at the Athens Concert Hall ‘Megaron’, the fifth annual AIMS Best Marathon Runner Gala recognised Eliud Kipchoge and Mary Keitany as the best marathon runners of 2017. The Maraton de las Flores Medellin received the Social award and the Sanlam Capetown Marathon the Green award. Rosa Mota was presented with the

Best Marathon Runner Awards At the 5th annual Best Marathon Runner (BMR) Awards Gala held in Athens on 10 November Eliud Kipchoge and Mary Keitany were named as AIMS’ Best Marathon Runners of the year on behalf of its 430 member races spread throughout 112 countries and territories.

Their outstanding achievements over the past year, including Mary Keitany’s new world record in a womenonly race of 2:17:01, set in the London Marathon, and Eliud Kipchoge’s world leading time of 2:03:32 in the BMW Berlin Marathon secured them the BMR Awards ahead of the winners of the 2017 World Championship Marathons Geoffrey Kirui and Rose Chelimo.

Eliud Kipchoge was unfortunately unable to attend the Gala to collect his award, which he had won for the third consecutive year.

It was the fifth time Mary Keitany had been presented with an award by AIMS, equaling the number received by Paula Radcliffe. She was presented with the AIMS World Record award only a week earlier in recognition of her women’s-only Marathon world record.

AIMS President Paco Borao said: “Eliud and Mary have truly set the standard in 2017. I am delighted to see their accomplishments recognised on behalf of our 430 members and sponsors in the home of the marathon in Athens.”

AIMS Green Award AIMS Social Award The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon took the AIMS Green Award for their commitment to environmentally friendly practices. For the 2016 event the entire carbon footprint was measured and offset to win climate neutral certification. 331 tons of CO2 was offset by supporting three local South African charity projects – Wonderbag, Reliance Compost and Basa Magogo. The 2017 race achieved zero waste to land-fill.

Janet Welham, Race Director of the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, said; “Our aim is to be a global leader in sustainability [and set] an example of how to achieve zero waste to landfill and measure one’s carbon footprint, how to reduce it and how to become a climate neutral event. We would like to thank AIMS for recognising our efforts with this award.”

The Maratón de las Flores Medellín won the AIMS Social Award in recognition of their support for social causes. In 2017 the race organisers supported a landmine charity, a race organised by a breast cancer charity and Pasos de Felicidad, a movement of young runners raising money for disadvantaged communities.

Gustavo Orozco Posada, Race Director of the Maratón de las Flores Medellín said: “We feel very strongly about our social initiatives and we are delighted to receive the award.”

AIMS Marathon Symposium The 11th AIMS Marathon Symposium was held in Athens on 11 November with the theme: “Developing your race by developing the running market in your country”. Four speakers addressed this subject:

Lifetime Achievement Award Rosa Mota received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Gala in recognition of her long career in distance running including victories in the 1988 Olympic Games, the 1987 and 1991 World Championships and the 1982, 1986 and 1990 European Championships Rosa first came to international attention in 1982 at the European Championships where she won the first official international championship marathon for women, staged on the classic course from Marathon to Athens, Greece.

In addition to the Olympic gold won in Seoul, South Korea she also won an Olympic bronze and many marathons around the world including Rotterdam, Chicago (twice), Tokyo, Boston (three times), Osaka and London.

AIMS President Paco Borao said: “We are very happy to welcome Rosa back to Athens, the birthplace of the Marathon. Her achievements have been an inspiration to women and girls around the world for many years.”

22nd World Congress of AIMS The 22nd World Congress of AIMS will be held in Tallinn on 6–8 September 2018.

A dedicated website is available at http://www.aimsworldcongress2018.ee/en/welcome Registrations can be made online at: https://www.jooks.ee/AIMS18/?id=1

Saso Belovski, business development manager of RunCzech, explained how loyalty programmes can contribute to the feeling of belonging to a running community whether through simple discounts, wider access to benefits or a ‘fast-track’ facility. The concept is supported by other initiatives such as: providing detailed ranking systems relating to age and professions to broaden the range of ‘winners’, providing a physical facility – a ‘Running Mall’ at which runners can socialise; and offering corporate races. By such means a new category of people has emerged who define themselves as people who are not runners but do run.

Elana Meyer described how the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon both enhances social cohesion and delivers social change by involving both running and non-running communities. Runners raise funds for charitable causes through the marathon. Local community groups are involved in the organisation – particularly in the efforts to deliver a carbon-neutral event with zero waste to landfill. The symbolism of a flame lit on Robben Island – where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned – and carried to the race start resonated in

AIMS Children’s Series The final AIMS Children’s Series event of 2017 was held on 26 November in Khanivali, a small village about 80km north of Mumbai. This year the distance was reduced from 4km to 2km and the previous out-back course changed to become point-to-point.

This allowed another 133 children from a nearby orphanage to be accommodated on the course.

Most children run barefoot and the organisers had patched up the route with loose soil as best possible. There were three age groups both for boys and girls, the children being from grades 8, 9

and 10. A total of 610 registered and 550 participated on the day.

All the children completed the race and many clocked impressive times.

The fastest was 7:02 and the next only a second slower.

All participants were given a finisher’s medal and a race T-shirt, a canvas school bag, a warm sweater, a warm cap, a summer cap, a pair of canvas shoes (measured individually for size), two pairs of socks, 2 notebooks, 8 ball-point pens, 4 packets of biscuits, a Rubik’s cube, a Frisbee, some hard candy and chocolates, a geometry set, a lunch box and a water bottle. All the boys were given a cricket bat and ball and the girls a pair of badminton rackets and a shuttle. Everyone was provided with breakfast before they assembled for the race and lunch afterwards including ice cream for dessert.

Every child also had their picture taken after the race and a copy was printed out and handed over to them on the spot. The winners received gold, silver or bronze medals, a certificate and a Casio watch for boys and a Timex watch for girls.

Race director Amit Sheth had recruited a team of 40 volunteers from the Borivalli National Park Green Runners in Mumbai and from the Inner Wheel Club of Bombay Sea Coast.

Following lunch there was a party of epic proportions where the children, teachers and organising staff joined in a dance competition.

More prizes (solar lamps and watches) were handed out to children who danced well.

all communities and projects the marathon’s reputation generally.

Paco Borao explained the emergence of Valencia, host to the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships on 24 March, as a ‘City of Running’. The physical advantage of the former bed of the Turia River now being an elongated green space snaking through the centre of Valencia was a highly advantageous starting point.

This now incorporates a point-to-point 5km measured race route and links to other runner-friendly routes throughout the city. The fast, flat courses of both the Marathon and Half Marathon – run a month apart – have boosted entries locally, nationally and internationally.

Makis Asimakopoulos, race director of Athens Marathon – the Authentic, outlined how the success of the Athens Marathon had been capitalised upon by adding a Half Marathon to the calendar and staging a series of 10km races in cities spread all over the country.

These were developed and presented using a standard template to enhance a feeling of familiarity and ‘ease of use’ by people who did not think of themselves as runners. The success of Athens Marathon has been used in this way to feed back to itself through these supporting events.

We have had a phenomenal year of great performances and off the chart audiences. The head to head competitions, the battles fought and the records set, have once again excited and entertained and have demonstrated the worldwide reach and continued popularity of our sport.

The marathons at this summer’s World championships, which took over the streets of central London for a day, were prime examples of the attractiveness of our sport when presented at its best on a world stage. The last seven kilometres of the women’s race in particular turned into an intriguing duel between four runners for three medals which will live long in the memory.

This year road running has also sparkled thanks to a series of outstanding world record runs from 10km up to the marathon. The most recent of these performances, over the half marathon distance, took place in the city which next March will host the IAAF/Trinidad Alfonso World Half

President’s message Marathon Championships Valencia 2018.

Athletics is the world’s global sport. The four 2017 IAAF World Athletics Series events in Kampala, Nassau, Nairobi and London attracted entries from around 3800 athletes, representing over 200 countries. Of these participants, in London alone around 40 countries won medals and 60 produced top-8 place finalists, making our World Championships the most international sporting event of the year.

athletes and fans better compete and follow the sport. This includes reconnecting the world’s biggest sport movement, running, with the elite events that people love to watch.

These are exciting times for our sport. We are in a position, unlike most other sports that tack on new formats and initiatives, to really change. This is a revolution for us and it means facing up to the reality of how people – not just young people – are and how they want to consume our sport.

Sebastian Coe IAAF President

The universal nature of athletics is matched by the billions who watched the sport across 200 territories worldwide and the landmark of 1.2million spectators who attended the World Athletics Series in 2017.

Since the IAAF governance reforms were passed at the end of 2016, a root-and-branch review of athletics’ global calendar and all competitions within the sport has been underway to help

IAAF/Trinidad Alfonso World Half Marathon Championships Valencia, Spain · 24 March 2018

IAAF COUNCIL President Lord Sebastian Coe (GBR)

Senior Vice President Sergey Bubka (UKR)

The World Half Marathon organisers claim that their event will be run on Valencia’s fastest ever course. Given the city hosted a world record only a few months ago that is a bold claim.

– an experience that few other sports can offer.

Organisers are expecting 15,000 runners to compete in the half marathon while younger runners will be able to take part in races designed especially for children.

The local organising committee has further improved the route of the annual event for the championships race to make it totally flat and without any sharp curves. The route combines the best features of the annual Valencia Marathon and Valencia Half Marathon and showcases many of the city’s iconic landmarks – including the renowned City of Arts and Sciences. The course will also be well protected from the wind as the race will predominantly take place on streets in the centre of town.

With established names from the track, marathon specialists and rising stars of the road all regularly clashing at this distance the half marathon is arguably the most exciting road-running event at the moment. It has enjoyed a revival in recent years, especially among women. Three world records for the distance were set in 2017 alone, the most recent of which came in Valencia when Joyciline Jepkosgei took one second off her own world record with 1:04:51.

Kenya’s Geoffrey Kamworor secured back-to-back world half marathon titles by winning hard-fought races in 2014 and 2016. Such was the quality of those races that five-time winner and world record-holder Zersenay Tadese just missed out on a medal in Copenhagen in 2014 while multiple world and Olympic champion Mo Farah had to settle for bronze in Cardiff in 2016.

The timing of the races – with the women’s race starting at 17.05 and the men’s at 17:30 – will offer cooler and drier temperatures while the influx of the public and large TV audiences around the world at that time will create an ideal atmosphere.

Valencia can boast some of the fastest half-marathon performances in history and is also no stranger to global athletics events. The 2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships were staged here and it is the second time that the World Half Marathon Championships has been held in Spain following the 1996 edition in Palma de Mallorca.

Although the entry lists won’t be finalised until much nearer the time many of the world’s top distance runners have already expressed their interest in competing in Valencia. In addition to the individual races, where there is $30,000 at stake for each of the winners, there are also team titles on offer. If recent editions are anything to go by the team contest will be a three-way battle between Kenya, Ethiopia and Eritrea. But the finishing order is harder to predict – there is always room for an upset.

Building on the success of recent editions of the event this year’s World Half Marathon Championships will hold a mass race alongside the elite men’s race, allowing recreational runners to be part of a global championship

Promsvyazbank Moscow Marathon, Russia Sun 24 September 2017 It’s the best way to get to know Moscow and fall in love with it, even if you think you already know the city

Picture: Ivan Kaydash

There has been a Moscow Marathon for decades but since a re-launch five years ago the new race has become the largest and most significant marathon in Russia.

Participation has increased fourfold since 2013 and the crowds watching have burgeoned. In 2017 more than 20,000 people from 71 countries took part in the race.

The Promsvyazbank Moscow Marathon is run in the heart of the city. The race logo – a heart made up of two geotags symbolising the start and finish – alludes to this.

The race starts and finishes within the precincts of the renovated “Luzhniki” Olympic complex which will host the 2018 Football World Cup. The Marathon course runs along the embankments of the Moskva River, along the Garden Ring, the Crimean Bridge, the Boulevard

Picture: Ivan Kaydash

Under the Kremlin walls Ring, Tverskaya Street and under the walls of the Kremlin. Extensive reconstruction in the city in the last two years has benefitted the race: sidewalks in the centre were widened and houses were restored.

The course’s appeal is noted even by locals.

Fewer streets are blocked on the main public holidays than during the Marathon. On the run participants get spectacular views and can

admire Moscow’s world-famous sights, including the White House, Moscow City business centre, four of Stalin’s seven ‘wedding cake’ skyscrapers, the Bolshoi Theatre, the FSB building, the Polytechnic Museum, the Kremlin and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. The race course connects the past and future of the city in one picturesque panorama.

The Marathon offers runners an excursion around the Russian capital for only 2000 rubles (about 30 euros) topped by getting a medal at the finish line. It’s the best way to get to know Moscow and fall in love with it, even if you think you already know the city.

Russia has had a running boom in the last few years: from 2009 to 2014 the number of Russian finishers in the world’s 12 largest marathons (including Paris, London, Chicago, Boston, Berlin, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Athens) increased four times over. Russian runners entering foreign events and competition among race organisers in Russia have led to a rise in organisational standards.

Russians are familiar with the best races of the world and have become picky – nudging domestic organisers to constantly improve and develop their services.

invitation to a pasta party. At the finish everyone receives a medal, a blanket, water and fruit. Afterwards they are offered hot food.

There are 13 fluid and food stations along the course and two points with energy gels. 24 ambulances are standing by during the event.

Split times are given for every 5 km. Data from the timing check-points are displayed on the online page of preliminary results and using a mobile app. Friends and relatives of runners can follow the competition using their mobile phones. Through services like these Promsvyazbank Moscow Marathon offers an experience comparable to the most successful European races.

Moscow winters are cold but the summers are hot with temperatures reaching 30ºC and above. September is the ideal time for running in Moscow and the best month to visit the Russian capital. The average air temperature during the Marathon for the last five years is 16ºC (2013 was coldest with 11ºC and 2015 hottest with 20ºC). Race day is usually clear or a bit cloudy and rain is unlikely. Nearly everyone runs in T-shirts and shorts.

their country's flag, see medals and T-shirts of different years, check past results and see a photo exhibition.

Apart from the Marathon there is a 10km race, a corporate relay and a race for handbikes and racing wheelchairs. Marathon and 10km runners previously started together but due to increasing numbers the starts were separated for the last edition, starting in different parts of the Olympic complex but coming together for a common finish. Start times were phased to allow 10km runners to stay on for the finish of the marathon.

Both races welcome amateur runners and elite Russian athletes. Because of the current IAAF suspension of the All-Russia Athletics Federation foreign elite runners are unable to take part in Russian races. Disabled people and charity runners are welcomed. The Marathon’s official charity, the Arithmetic of Good foundation, raises funds for educational programmes for orphans. The handbikers and

wheelchair racers start 15 minutes before the Marathon runners and complete the same course. Moscow is the only marathon in Russia which holds a dedicated race for athletes with disabilities.

Good organisation and high-quality medals do not alone make a race successful. What really creates a good impression are the people with whom runners have contact throughout their stay – from receiving their bib numbers at the Expo until the moment they leave the finish zone. Volunteering has been one of the key areas of growth for the Marathon. Over the last five years the organisers have managed to attract, train and rally a team of 800 people.

The Marathon volunteers are unfailingly friendly, caring and they speak foreign languages. Run the Promsvyazbank Moscow Marathon on 23 September 2018 and see for yourself.

The race expo is Russia’s largest. Runners pick up their packets, buy equipment and food, visit partner areas, participate in contests and look for their names on a special wall, where each participant is marked. At the 2017 expo a Promsvyazbank Moscow Marathon museum was put up where visitors could take pictures with

Goodlife Rottnest Running Festival, Australia 22 October 2017

A runner's island haunt Views that will stay in the memory for a lifetime

Emil Zatopek once said, ‘If you want to win something, run the 100m. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.’

For the last 24 years runners have been visiting the tiny island of Rottnest, 19km off the coast of Perth, to experience the pain and pleasure of the Marathon. The island is a protected nature reserve and home to the quokka – a small wallaby-like marsupial and supposedly ‘the happiest animal in the world’.

RESULTS

Rottnest Island covers 19 square kilometres and is reached by a 30-minute ferry ride. Runners can come over days in advance or cross on race day at 05.30.

There is a permanent population of around 200 people but also 500,000 visitors annually.

White-sand beaches and secluded coves surround the island.

In October every year runners flock to run the scenic course around the island, opting for

either a four-lap Marathon, a two-lap Half Marathon, a single-lap 10km or a 5km. The course has been designed to ensure runners take in the magical scenery and experience everything the island has to offer. It’s undulating and showcases views that will stay in the memory for a lifetime.

The race starts in Heritage Common and heads out across the salt lakes towards Armstrong Bay, where runners are confronted with an ocean view that must be seen to be believed.

The race circumnavigates the island to ensure nothing has been missed. The course is tough but you lose yourself in the moment.

In all of the 24 years that the race has been run bagpipes begin to play just before the start of the marathon. The ethereal sound of Amazing Grace sets the scene for the day ahead. In the inaugural Rottnest Marathon of October 1994 72 runners finished and a plaque with all their names was placed in the Rottnest Hotel, then known as the Quokka Arms. Ray Brown took the men’s race in 2:35:50 and visiting New Zealander Nyla Carroll took the women’s in 2:52:20.

The race has forged its own bit of mythology.

Legend has it that 70 years ago Harry McFordyce, an immigrant prisoner on Rottnest, escaped justice and attempted to run off the island. On the fourth time around McFordyce succumbed to dehydration and died. If you run the marathon you will see and hear the ghost of Harry playing his bagpipes throughout the race.

Two bagpipers stand atop Armstrong Bay playing the haunting melodies. On the last lap, at the foot of Harry’s Hill, you are given a gold coin which you must carry up the hill and deposit in Harry’s tub. Failure to do this will result in cramps, dehydration and a possible DNF imposed on you by Harry’s ghost.

Bagpipes aren’t the only historical aspect of this island race. The Dutch mariner Samuel Volckertzoon wrote of sighting a “wild cat" on Rottnest Island in 1658. In 1696 Willem de Vlamingh mistook them for giant rats and

named the island "Rotte nest". You will see thousands of these native marsupials around the island and although being taken as rats back in the 1600s actually look like very small kangaroos. The tiny creature now features prominently on every finisher’s medal.

The Rottnest Running Festival has a distance for everyone. The course is marshalled by some of Western Australia’s greatest runners and friendliest volunteers along with army cadets who are posted at all the water stations. The uniformed cadets have been visiting the island for years to offer aid to the runners.

At the finish it has become a custom to share the tales of the day at the Rottnest Hotel – the drinking hole for both locals and tourists alike.

Many friendships have been made and many stories have been told but there is one underlying theme that underpins them all: ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’.

The Rottnest Running Festival is a unique event on a unique island. The 25th anniversary race is on 21 October 2018 and celebrations will be bigger and better than ever."

Volkswagen Ljubljana Marathon, Slovenia 29 October 2017

Picture: Vid Ponikvar / Sportida

Not many races in the world can boast that they have over one percent of the population of the country as participants.

Volkswagen Ljubljana Marathon can make that proud claim.

Slovenia has a population of two million people. It is surrounded, except for a very short coastline on the Adriatic Sea, by Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. Ljubljana, the national capital, has 280,000 inhabitants. The Ljubljana Marathon attracts 25,000 runners to its various events – and although quite a lot of them are from outside Slovenia this equates to 1.2% of the country’s population.

It is not surprising that the day of the race is seen by the whole nation as a “racing holiday”.

Life in the capital is put on hold for the day as the city unites and cheers on runners throughout the city centre. On the last Sunday in October the streets of Ljubljana are traditionally flooded with runners and spectators who together create the unforgettable atmosphere of the Volkswagen Ljubljana Marathon.

What started in 1996 as a local event with no more than 673 participants has in 22 years become an internationally recognised race with people from 55 countries and five continents competing in a 10km run, a half-marathon and the marathon. These main races are supported by a rich programme for joggers and children.

Both the start and the finish of all races are in the centre of Ljubljana with the starting line on

Slovenska cesta and the finishing line just a few metres away on Kongresni trg. There is no better way to see the sights of the historical city centre as well as some of the diverse neighbourhoods of Ljubljana. Along the course there are also many great places where spectators can catch the action from the sidelines.

The course is flat and, with a record of 2:08:19 run by Limenih Getachew (ETH) in 2015, also

What makes running in Ljubljana so special is the energy that carries the runners all the way from the start through to the finish. The adventure begins at the starting line as the runners’ heartbeats become one with the expressive rhythm of the drums on the starting gate above them.

Along the course runners can really feel the vibe of the neighbourhoods they are running through. In some parts of the city families set up their own refreshment stations at which

In other districts all kinds of different musicians play cheerful songs along with the crowds of spectators. They are united in one common goal: to encourage the runners on their journey.

Logicom Cyprus Marathon, Cyprus 4 March 2018 The Logicom Cyprus running festival celebrates its 20th edition this year. In recent years it has grown a lot offering an attractive all-in package (technical tshirt, free beer and much more), topnotch organisation and an electric atmosphere.

There is also the history, scenery and traditional Mediterranean hospitality that pervades the entire island nation.

The Marathon starts at Aphroditeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Birthplace in Paphos where white foam waves break over a stunning rock formation. The tranquility of this picturesque spot prepares the runners both mentally and emotionally for the race ahead.

The first half of the course follows the coast before passing through several traditional villages. The final stage is through the centre where runners soak up the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buzz and beauty complete with palm trees and luxury hotels. The finish is by the medieval fort of Paphos where entertainment like no other is there to welcome runners over the line.

Mediterranean hospitality pervades the 20-year old event where runners never stray far from the sea countries. Each runner will benefit from fluid stations every 3km along the route (offering water, electrolytes, energy gels, sponges & bananas), a bus pass for the Marathon weekend, and at the finish chip timing, entertainment and a massage service, fruit, juices and free beer.

Paphos was the European Capital of Culture in 2017 and boasts beautiful countryside and historic sites but it is also a cosmopolitan resort with more than 200 hotels: the ideal location to host such a multi-cultural event as the Marathon. Around 50% of participants come from overseas: 25% from the United Kingdom

and another 25% coming from other countries (including Greece).

The Logicom Cyprus Marathon is dedicated to Paphos-born Stelios Kyriakides who won the Boston Marathon in 1946. His achievement fueled American donations and he arrived back to war-ravaged Greece with US$250,000 and two ships full of food, clothes and medical supplies. â&#x2013; For more information visit: www.cyprusmarathon.com

The festival also offers a Half Marathon, a 10km road race and a 5km fun run. All these races start and finish next to the Paphos fort but follow different courses. The Half Marathon, with an almost entirely flat course, is the most popular option. The 10km race follows a similar course with palm trees and cheering spectators.

The 5km fun run loops around the Archaeological Park, a UNESCO protected site, and never strays far from the sea.

At the common finish runners can enjoy juices, fruit, water, beer, music and entertainment.

They can also cool down in the sea and soak up the majesty of the 13th century fort.

The 20th Logicom Cyprus Marathon expects to host more than 2500 runners from 50 Distance Running | 2018 Edition 1

Seoul Marathon, South Korea 18 March 2018 The Seoul Marathon is the oldest continuously-held marathon in Asia.

Dating from 1931 it is also the secondoldest in the world after the Boston Marathon. The course goes through the heart of the Korean capital and is one of the fastest in the world.

“Miracle” race that is among the oldest and the fastest

The race embodies the history of modern Korea and is also referred to as “The Miracle on the Han River”. Starting from Gwanghwamun (the palace), at the very heart of the South Korean capital, it passes by the City Hall and “CheongGye-Cheon” – the testament of Korea’s recent history, and ends in the 1988 Seoul Olympic Stadium.

The event has continued to be held through the decades thanks to the unswerving devotion and interest of participants and their contribution to Korean athletics, and to the generous support of Dong-A Ilbo.

The Seoul Marathon is where Sohn Kee-chung won in 1936 prior to becoming Olympic Champion at the Berlin Olympics that year.

Hwang Young-cho, 1992 Olympic gold medallist in Barcelona, won the Seoul Marathon the year after becoming Olympic champion. Of the top 28 times recorded by Koreans 10 were set in the Seoul Marathon. Many overseas marathon stars – including the former world record holder Patrick Makau – have also run the race.

It is the only IAAF Gold Label race in the Republic of Korea. The men’s course record is 2:05:13 and the women’s 2:19:51: these are exceptional times which are hard to find anywhere.

About 35,000 runners take part in the Seoul Marathon. Apart from the full-length marathon

four other races are hosted including a Half Marathon, a 4-person relay and a 10km. All participants who apply before the deadline are welcome.

Times set in Seoul are accepted as qualification to participate in other major marathons such as Boston and New York. Many amateur runners who plan to run in these marathons run in Seoul to qualify. All runners receive a commemorative t-shirt and those who finish also get a certificate and finisher’s medal.

Apart from the running participants can enjoy the sights of Seoul and the rich variety of foods available. Transportation and accommodation are very convenient as the competition is held in the centre of Seoul.

PZU Warsaw Half Marathon, Poland 25 March 2018 Why run in Warsaw? Because it’s a unique city with a rich history which you have probably never visited – and because it is in spring. Running is one of the best ways to get to know a city and spring is the best time to get to know Warsaw.

The Warsaw Half Marathon is Poland’s biggest road race. Starting from 2006 with 1000 runners the race now welcomes 13,000 entrants. It is the unofficial opener to the running season in Poland.

runners the green areas beside the Vistula river and elsewhere constitute a quarter of the city’s area.

The route of the half marathon starts and ends in the heart of the city, in the vicinity of the Old Town. It is flat and runs through the most interesting and important places in the capital.

On the course you will find many cheering fans and dozens of music points. The route is well marked, secured and offers several refreshment stations and medical points.

Standing at the start line you will sense that an extraordinary journey awaits you. Warsaw is a city with a soul: the former Kings of Poland resided here; Chopin created his works here; the opening and closing gambits of World War II played out here; the Polish Round Table Talks which sparked the changes to communist Europe took place here.

The Warsaw Half Marathon is a race for everyone: for those fighting to improve their times (men’s and women’s course records stand at 1:00:48 and 1:09:06); for those who run for pleasure; and those who run for charity. More than 500,000 euros has been raised so far and by your participation you can help to change the world for the better and support people in need.

Today Warsaw is a lively city combining history and modernity. Historic palaces and churches sit alongside modern architecture while cosy cafes compete with trendy music clubs. For

Gifu Half Marathon, Japan 22 April 2018

“Crossroads of Japan” offers scenic route in honour of a hometown Olympic Champion The Gifu Half Marathon honours Naoko Takahashi, the gold medalist in the women’s marathon at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games who went on to become the first woman to run under 2 hours 20 minutes in the 2001 Berlin Marathon. She is a major international star and comes from Gifu Prefecture.

The City of Gifu is a castle town with a rich history and culture located in the centre of the country and regarded throughout history as the ‘crossroads of Japan’. Gifu was named by the feudal lord Oda Nobunaga during his campaign to unify all of Japan in 1567. The first character comes from Qishan, a legendary mountain from which most of China was unified, and the second from Qufu, the birthplace of Confucius.

The race is held in late April every year and attracts about 10,000 participants ranging from enthusiastic amateurs to some of the world’s top athletes. The race route is very scenic. It runs through the downtown area and then proceeds to the banks of the Nagara River.

The Gifu Half Marathon is a highly competitive race for top athletes and has attracted the participation of the world record holder in the women’s half marathon and many members of national teams contesting the Olympics and the World Championships. Yet the official time limit extends to as much as three hours and makes the race beginner-friendly.

One of the missions of the Gifu Half Marathon is to promote charity through sport. It offers charity entry programs and conducts charity

auctions to raise funds in four specific categories including promoting sports for people with disabilities and supporting disasterand conflict-affected regions. Gifu was the epicentre of the second most powerful earthquake ever to hit Japan on 28 October 1891. It left a fault scar that can still be seen today.

More and more runners choose to join the race’s charitable activities and the circle of support generated has blossomed over recent years.

Crete Marathon, Greece 15 April 2018

A course of unique natural and monumental beauty hard to find elsewhere beach resort they make a u-turn and return to Chania.

Crete Marathon is organized by enthusiasts who put great effort and affection into every small detail in order to create an unforgettable running experience for all participants.

The third edition of the race takes place in the historic centre of Chania and includes the Marathon, 10km and 5km runs and a 2.5km fun run.

Crete Marathon is a fiesta in which the city of Chania celebrates the ideals of Olympism and the value of sport and lifelong exercise.

The event is launched on 13 April with a ceremony during which an olive branch “kotinos” is cut from the monumental olive tree of Vouves. The branch is used to make the wreaths bestowed upon the Marathon winners.

On 14 April a torch relay takes place in memory of the humanist Metropolitan Irenaeus Galanakis along with an Opening Ceremony which aims to create a warm and celebratory atmosphere for the race.

The 3rd Crete Marathon is organised by the Chania Road Runners Health Club and various local authorities. It is held under the auspices of SEGAS and the Hellenic Association of Mass Popular Sports and Ultra Running. The local community supports the event with unique care and courtesy while the event’s volunteers are adept at making every participant feel unique by offering them famous Greek hospitality.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the 3rd Crete Marathon and to you joining us in this great feast of sport.

The Marathon follows a course of unique natural and monumental beauty hard to find elsewhere. It starts from the municipal market of Chania which during the day is a “temple of gastronomy” with various food shops set in a deep mystic atmosphere that allow you to taste the divine gifts of Cretan nature.

Runners pass the Old Harbour, a monument of great Venetian architecture and one of the most picturesque sites of Crete, and along the coast. The small island of Thodorou is just offshore – on the map it appears as just a dot but is of great ecological importance in preserving the protected species of the Cretan wild goat. It also harbours a rich history of legends. When runners reach Maleme, a traditional Cretan Village, and the Platanias

Lebanese PM resigns in Riyadh: Beirut replies with runners’ voices What do you do when you arrive in a hotel after a long flight across continents? Unpack a bit, take a shower and flick on the TV. I did just so after arriving in Delhi a week before the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon.

What flicked up on the screen was the news that the Lebanese Prime Minister had ‘resigned’ while on a visit to Saudi Arabia. Without any chance of talking directly to the players in this political drama the only option for news reporters was to seek comment from others.

News agencies and TV work on a tight schedule – minutes count, but often there are few new ‘facts’ to report. “Voxpops” – going out to elicit spoken reaction from local people – is the main way the appetite of 24-hour news can be satisfied and kept ‘rolling’ from hour to hour.

In earlier times this would have likely meant visiting the souk to gauge the reaction of the Arab ‘street’ – I remember some of these from the time of the ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings.

It so happened that the Blom Bank Beirut Marathon was taking place at the time of the PM’s dramatic and unexplained resignation. All of a sudden the Marathon became the souk – a marketplace of runners.

Running seems to have established some intangible but significant connections: between a marathon and modernity; between the freedom to run and the freedom to speak; between exercising your body and exercising your rights; between dressing down to run and offering an unvarnished, truthful opinion.

Among the greatly increased numbers of people who now run marathons there have been some notable political figures – from George Bush down. The next AIMS World Congress will be hosted in Estonia where both the President and the Prime Minister participate in the Marathon. Even if not running high-level politicians regularly offer their patronage to running events and find it convenient to cultivate connections to events which attract such a popular following.

One of the ‘popular voices’ recorded at the Beirut Marathon clearly felt the connection with his Prime Minister that had been established through the event. “He is with us here every year” he said.

“We miss him”. It was a simple, almost apolitical point which resonated far more strongly than any amount of political analysis could.

Marathons now offer a channel through which the voice and spirit of a nation's people can be expressed. How much more mainstream can we get?

Marathon greats

Multiple winner in formative years of women’s marathon

Rosa Mota A familiar image of Rosa Mota in the 1980s, captured by photographers on athletic tracks worldwide, was her elfin figure setting off on a lap of honour while holding aloft a huge Portuguese flag.

She is more than a Marathon great; more than a national heroine. She is the personification of what sport should be about. The victories were never easily won but the grace with which they were achieved made them seems so. “People in Portugal see Rosa and Carlos Lopes and they think it is a simple matter to run 2:08,”

two kilometres. Running with such uncompromising commitment and tactical abandon was the only way

complained Jose Pedrosa, Rosa’s coach and boyfriend, back in 1987.

He knew better: it was him who sweated it out in 32ºC heat on the opening day of the 1987 IAAF World Championships in Rome, fretting that Rosa had misjudged her effort. The athletics world watched in amazement as she pulled relentlessly away from the rest to win in 2:25:17 by over

she was likely to have been beaten – but she did it anyway.

It was not so easy in her formative years either. The diminutive (45kg, 1.57) runner from Porto started training in Salazarist Portugal. She was admonished on the street for her shamelessness in training in shorts.

Paternalism lived on in the Portuguese Federation and Rosa had continuous disputes with them about Continued on page 45 Photos except where stated otherwise: Gray Mortimore/Allsport/Getty

unheard of but in retrospect she could almost be seen to be warming up for her crushing World Championships victory in Rome.

In the 1988 Olympic Marathon she ran a completely different race to that in Rome a year before. She stayed with the leaders but had to fight all the way around the course to make sure the pace didn’t drop. Gradually her opponents fell away until only Lisa Martin (AUS) remained. Commentators remarked that Rosa was visibly unsettled by Martin’s persistent presence as she glanced over her shoulder several times. In fact it was a reflexive reaction to having her heels clipped and Rosa dealt with it by piling on the pressure until she got away to win by 13 seconds.

her racing plans. They had tried – with some irony – to block her entry to the inaugural European Championships Marathon for women in 1982 – the victorious debut from which all else flowed.

There were some formidable runners contesting honours in those early years of women’s championship marathons. Rosa beat the soonto-be world record holder Ingrid Kristiansen in Athens but the following year finished fourth in the inaugural World Championships women’s marathon, won by Grete Waitz.

The first ever women’s Olympic Marathon was held in Los Angeles in 1984 where Joan Benoit

won ahead of Grete Waitz and Rosa’s bronze medal was still something of a surprise – to win it she ran four minutes faster than she had ever done before. She chopped another minute off her best in retaining her Chicago Marathon title soon after the Olympics and in the same race a year later, although she only finished third, she reduced her personal best to 2:23:29.

She never recorded times as fast as Samuelson or Kristiansen but it was in head-to-head competition where she performed best. Of 21 career starts she won 14 races and of the others she dropped out of three.

Rosa defended her European title in Stuttgart in 1986 and finished over four minutes ahead of her nearest rival. Such a winning margin was

Her last championship win, the third time she captured the European crown, was more mentally and physically demanding than anything before. Rosa blazed ahead in the first half to lead by 1:43 But Valentina Yegorova made it all up by 34km. You would have expected anyone else to fold there and then but Rosa responded and forged a small lead which she held to the stadium entrance and then won an exciting tussle over the last 500m.

She won the IAAF World Cup race in London in 1991 and looked set to retain her World Championship title but ran off course at halfway with stomach pain and breathing difficulties – something which happened again when she ran in the 1992 London Marathon.

After ten years at the top and having played a large part in the establishment of the women’s marathon as a championship event Rosa bowed out of serious competition.

Brookes 15 years ago running was a sport for eccentrics and oddballs. Alan Brookes was one of them…

In the past 15 years Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon has gone from being a modest 1000-runner race to Canada’s largest and most prestigious running event.

It attracts more than 25,000 runners a year from more than 70 countries, brings an estimated $35 million in economic activity to the city, and is live-streamed to more than 140 countries. It incorporates the national championships (2015–2018) and set the stage for a three-minute improvement in the Canadian all-comers record and a decades-long awaited lowering of the Canadian women’s record.

But these achievements and milestones were a long time in the making, starting from a time when running was a sport for eccentrics and oddballs. Alan Brookes was one of them…

Start in 2001 at the Flatiron Building

the builder

“I moved to Canada from UK as a Ph.D student in Canadian history. I started running as an outof-shape history professor at the University of Guelph, 100km west of Toronto. My first marathon was in Ottawa in 1981 where I ran 2:44:40. Over the next two years I improved to 2:34:40. I started to organise road races from 1984 when I asked the provincial Federation if I could set up an “Ontario Road Race Series”.

Series, a six-pack of road races in downtown Toronto.

I got Timex as a sponsor and it took off. Then in 1986 they gave me the opportunity to be coRace Director for the Toronto Marathon, which they owned. This was too much fun – so in 1987 I resigned my associate professorship (with tenure) to become a race director, open a running store and move to Toronto. I wasn’t too good at the retail thing and had to close the store in 1997 but the races flourished.

From the start we were committed to balancing sport and community at the races. Joan Samuelson won the first two editions of the Grand Finale of the Series, the Coors Light Toronto Half Marathon in October. We had other well-known winners like Ed Eyestone and Arturo Barrios.

The contract for the Toronto Marathon only lasted three years but then Molson Breweries asked me to set up the Coors Light Running

The Series began with the Spring Run off 8K in April – and it still thrives as Toronto’s oldest, continuously held road race. 1990s winners

were Eammon Martin and Jill Hunter who still holds the women’s record. They were followed in the 90s by the likes of Sally Barsosio and Daniel Komen. In 1996 a dish-washer from New York paid his own bus fare to come and win our Spring 10km: his name was Khalid Khannouchi. Ed Eyestone had won the race the year before. Steve Jones came to win the Toronto Marathon in 1992.

The races were community fundraising events for the YMCA or the Marvelle Koffler Breast Centre at Mount Sinai Hospital. Sport and

that activates and helps fundraise for neighbourhood groups along the marathon course.

I’d been race director of Run Barbados from 2000 to 2003 under contract to the Barbados Tourism Authority. It was a lot of fun but very time-consuming. Ending my activities there gave me a lot more time to work on CRS and STWM. We introduced both the Scotiabank Charity and Neighbourhood Challenges.

By coincidence Ed Whitlock, a local runner aged 72 at the time, ran 2:59:10 at STWM 2003 and ‘Ed mania’ took off. We went from less than 800 in our marathon to almost 2000 in a year.

Then in 2004 Ed left us totally gobsmacked when he ran 2:54:49 in his Ranelagh (a British running club) vest at age 73. His message to us was “Don’t limit yourself. You’ll be surprised what you can achieve.” Ed became a global sensation and he showed us the way. If Ed could become a worldwide running star, maybe we could have a world class marathon. British Sikh Fauja Singh also chose our marathon to achieve his international acclaim as an ageless marathoner and underscore Toronto’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Daniel Komen, 1994

I started going to other marathons and to AIMS meetings; to London, Rotterdam, Prague and other places – to learn. The challenge was to build the event as a legitimate international

Ed Whitlock

race, not just the Ed Whitlock and Fauja Singh show.

Canadians told us “no-one will ever run sub 2:10: in Canada”. But in 2007 we had John Kelai run 2:09:30. Kenneth Mungara won four times and got us down to 2:08 while Sharon Cherop, Koren Yal and Mare Dibaba took the women’s record down to 2:22, 2:23. Then it was 2:07 in 2013, and a 2:06:52 this year. On the home front Reid Coolsaet and Eric Gillis qualified for London 2012 at our race and in 2013 Lanni Marchant eclipsed the 28-year-old Canadian women’s record with her 2:28:00.

We’ve grown from two staff to 15 but remain an ops-driven, community-based organisation committed to our mission of “Building Community through Running”. London and Chicago Marathons have been hugely important as mentors and supporters, especially in operations, and that has allowed us to grow.

We were asked to organise the Marathons and race walks of the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto.

It’s important that our races – especially STWM – reflect the community. Toronto is a new city, diverse and inclusive, “urban-cool” with the likes of Drake, the Toronto International Film Festival, a city of millennials, culture, music, great food, friendly and welcoming. And still, as Peter Ustinov described us in a former era, “New York run by the Swiss.”

Community. In 1999 we added races in Montreal & Vancouver, and the Series became the “Canada Running Series” (CRS). In the year 2000 we added a full marathon to the existing Toronto Half-marathon & 5K, and this became the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon (STWM).

At university my research field was 19th-century rural to urban migration in North America, economic and social adaptation and citybuilding. City-building – making our sport relevant to the broader urban community – is still a central theme. In our seven CRS races, we have over 300 mostly local charities whose runners raise about C$6 million a year. Almost 200 are in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge at STWM, a concept we took from the London Marathon. Since its introduction in 2003 we’ve raised $35 million at the STWM alone. We also have a Scotiabank Neighbourhood Challenge

6th Race, WMRA Mountain Running World Cup

NCAC MR Chs

Hochfelln Berglauf, Germany (8.9km, +1074m)

The start and finish were in downtown Golden and 5km of the course was on pavement or crushed limestone pathways. Sections of grass, a 5km loop on a rolling track, cloudy skies and cool temperatures made for fast times. “The course was good,” said men’s champion Juan Carlos Caiera. “It was not a typical mountain race, it was very fast.”

The 44th edition of this classic race in the Bavarian mountains provided a hard-fought men’s race in which Antonio Toninelli (Italy) took the title ahead of local mountain runner and ski mountaineering athlete Anton Palzer.

Eritreans Filmon Abraham and Yossief Tekle led 10 runners up the first climb followed by a group of eight – which included women’s winner Andrea Mayr. While Mayr quickly pulled ahead and missed her own course record by a single second Toninelli had to push consistently up through the forest before the field eventually strung out behind him.

Nine countries were represented in the top 16 positions and there was a vociferous crowd cheering everyone as they zig-zagged up the steep mountainside.

Going into the final World Cup race at Smarna Gora (Slovenia) on 7 October Alice Gaggi (Italy) led the standings with Mayr 50 points behind.

Golden. BC, Canada (10.5km, +400m)

Five men including Casas, three Americans and a Canadian jockeyed for position through the streets of Golden. Casas took the lead with 1500m to go and with Americans Mike Popejoy and Josh Eberly in hot pursuit. “We were trying to close,” said Popejoy, “but Juan was very strong”. Casas took his second successive title.

Defending NACAC women’s champion Megan Roche led for much of the race while eventual winner Susana Bautista Villegas waited patiently until taking the lead with 4km to go.

“She went by me on the downhill like I was standing still,” said Roche.

Prize money was awarded to the top three men and women with first earning $200, second $150, and third $100 (Canadian dollars).

Doping disappointment On 27 September the IAAF announced that Petro Mamu (ERI) tested positive for a proscribed substance normally associated with the treatment of asthma. The sample was taken after both the World Mountain Running Championships and the World Long Distance Mountain Running Championships had been held in Premana, Italy.

Mamu has received a nine-month ban starting on 19 September after admitting to the findings and co-operating with the IAAF (reduced from 2 years). All his results after 30 July 2017 are annulled. WMRA appreciate

Mamu’s cooperation but feel that the sentence is not a sufficient deterrent as he will be eligible to compete at the World Championships and World Cup in 2018.

The medalists from the World Long Distance Championships are now confirmed as: Francesco Puppi (ITA): World Champion and gold medallist; Pascal Egli (SUI): silver medallist; Tayte Pollman (USA): bronze medallist. A new medal ceremony will be held at the World Long Distance Championships in Poland next June.

7th Race, Mountain Running World Cup Smarna Gora, Slovenia

Photo: Sasa Pahic Szabo

The last race of the World Cup series was held on the Smarna Gora mountain close to Slovenia's capital city Ljubljana. Autumn fog shrouded the start line and the forest trails were wet and slippery but the summit finish was above the clouds in bright sunshine.

Photo: Sasa Pahic Szabo

New Norwegian star Johan Bugge broke away just before the first climb taking Eritrean Filimon Abraham with him. Out of all the top Italians racing only Ceseae Maestri could stay in touch but Bugge looked in control on the downhill and powered away up the second climb to win by almost a minute.

Andrea Mayr won the women’s race by almost two minutes in a new course record. She followed up the next day with another course record – by two minutes – at the Vertical Kilometre of Chiavenna (Italy).

Alice Gaggi’s fourth place meant that she won the overall World Cup. Mayr’s two recent wins were not enough to close the gap Gaggi had built up throughout the season. Alex Baldacini – who finished sixth at Smarna Gora – took the men’s division with compatriot Francesco Puppi in second.

IAU News 30 September 2017

Fuxian Highland Ultramarathon 50km and 100km â&#x2013; The IAU bronze label race served as a trial event for a future 50km World Championship event. The course was scenic and undulating

around the lake at an altitude at 1700mâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;1900m. Abundant afternoon sunshine and little shade made the race tough.

Winners of the Career Award CHRISTOPHE ROCHOTTE was a regular at IAU Championship events until he passed away two years ago at the French 24Hour Championships. He was a journalist working for VO2 and always gave ultrarunning a good coverage. A constant presence at the events he knew the athletes and their performances. He was also a member of the Career Committee.

NORMAN WILSON was on Council for two terms and stepped down in his third term for medical reasons. He was instrumental in bringing IAU and WMRA together for

two very successful Commonwealth Mountain and Ultradistance Running Championships 2009 and 2011. He was a member of the GBR selection committee and team management for several years and is a former winner of the Berlin Marathon.

The runners and walkers liked the course while enjoying fabulous cool (12ºC) and overcast weather.

And they were thrilled to receive an award winning medal, a matching pendant and Event Coin as well as a long sleeve finisher’s shirt, a special finisher’s jacket,

In the sun-drenched Olympic Stadium Lawrence Cherono set a new course record of 2:05:09 and Abdi Nageeye (9th) ran 2:08:15 to beat the Dutch national record by five seconds. Tadelech Bekele celebrated victory in the women’s race with a personal best.

Times were especially fast this year: five men went under 2:06. A large group of around 20 runners stayed together up to 30km.

Several favourites then started to drop off the pace but five runners bolted through for a tense endgame inside the stadium.

Cherono set the pace throughout.

“I began to push on after 30km,” he said “[but] it was only in the last kilometre that I thought about the victory.” Tadelech Bekele complained that stomach problems had slowed her in the last 5km but she had built up a big lead which she safely retained to the end.

The TCS Amsterdam Marathon welcomed 44,643 participants in the Amsterdam Olympic Stadium across the various races (TCS Marathon, Mizuno Half Marathon, TCS 8 km and kids’ run). With a

22 October 2017 Medio Maratón Valencia Trinidad Alfonso EDP Spain Joyciline Jepkosgei set her sixth world record of the year and her second at the half marathon by beating the time she ran back in March by a single second.

Having improved the 10km world record last month she had the half marathon time in her sights from the start and was paced specifically with this in mind. Even so the early kilometres were faster than intended with 5km being clipped off in 14:52 (2:58/km).

She went through 10km in 30:09 (3:02/km) but it began to look as

if the damage had been done as her pace slipped to 45:59 (3:04/km) at 15km.

But Jepkosgei managed to rally to reach 20km in 1:01:30 (3:04.5/km). With a supreme effort over the last 1.1km she just ducked under her previous world record. “The course is perfect to run fast,” she said, adding that she will return to contest the World Half Marathon Championships to be held in Valencia on 24 March. In second place Fancy Chemutai improved her best time by 80 seconds.

Abraham Cheroben took the men’s title in a time 22 seconds slower than he has run in the race before. It was his third win in Valencia in the last four years.

Pacemakers led through 5km in 14 minutes flat – on pace for a course record but not fast enough for Cheroben who took the lead at 6km. His surge dropped all except the Ethiopians Leul Gebrselassie and Tsadik Fidaku Haftu, neither of whom had broken the hour before. They passed 10km in 27:54. Cheroben continued to lead but slowed slightly so that there was no longer any realistic hope of a course record. 20km

A large, enthusiastic crowd lining the finish line erupted as Daniel Tapia became the first-ever Monterey County native to win the 15-year-old event. Tapia grew up in nearby Prunedale and ran a personal best to beat runner-up Futsum Zienasellassie, a six-time All-American at Northern Arizona University, in his debut half marathon.

Tapia also bested the women’s winner to nearly double his prize money in the battle-of-the-sexes “Equalizer Challenge”. Female elites started the race 9:05 ahead but Tapia caught the leading woman, Monicah Ngige (KEN) who was also making her debut at the distance, in the final stages.

31-year old Tapia was runner-up last year four seconds behind the winner. “I came to win today,” he said. “I knew I was ready.” He settled into the pack at 3km but at 13km, in neighbouring Pacific Grove, he broke away as the course turns back towards the finish. “We started going downhill and… I made my move,” Tapia said: “I went for it and it worked.”

He pulled away from a group of seven others by running sub3mins/km pace for the next 5km.

His overall pace was 3:01/km.

“He’s brought a lot of pride to Monterey County,” said race director Doug Thurston.

Ngige averaged 3:27/km in the women’s race: “The course is [not easy in] the first half, but coming back was better,” said the 10km specialist. “I love the coast, and Monterey is very beautiful.”

The weekend events included 5km and 3km races on the day before altogether attracted 8800 runners from 48 states and 18 countries.

Nearly two-thirds of them were female. The oldest runner in the half marathon, Hai Chung, of Monterey, was 89 years old. 3861 were competing in the Monterey Distance Running | 2018 Edition 1

Podium placers aims-worldrunning.org 19 November 2017 Airtel Delhi Half Marathon India Birhanu Legese regained the title he won two years ago after pulling away in the final 500m.

1000m World and Olympic champion Almaz Ayana won her debut half marathon.

Entering the final kilometre any of five men could have won and all five went under the hour with another four under 61 minutes.

World Marathon Champion Geoffrey Kirui had his first race since winning his world title and slipped out of contention late in the race.

Ayana, like Legese, only got away from her compatriot Abebel Yeshaneh in the last kilometre.

Yeshaneh finished second for the second time in a row but improved her personal best by 33 seconds. Loganathan Suriya, in eighth, finished in an Indian half marathon record of 1:10:29, breaking the record set by Lalita Babar in this same race in 2015 by 33 seconds.

A special ceremony was staged just before the start: “Raise hands with yellow gloves” which was observed by all participants and organizing teams. The raised yellow gloves represented sunflowers which are the symbol of reconstruction following the Great Earthquake which destroyed Kobe and left 6400 dead when it struck 22 years ago. A moment of silence was observed as a prayer for the victims and for the safe conduct of the race.

The men’s winner was Khalil Lemciyeh (MAR) in 2:12:49 and the women’s winner Maegan Krifchin (USA) with 2:33:14. Both 80

Kuma. With little over a kilometre to run Kuma dropped back and with 600m to go Azimeraw, in her first ever international race, sprinted for home to drop first the diminutive Matanga and then the ever-tenacious Kiprop. In fifth place emerging local star Loganathan Suriya continued her run of fine form to set another national record following her 1:10:29 at the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon last month.

17 December 2017 Tata Steel Kolkata 25k India Kenenisa Bekele finished his 2017 racing with a win but fell short of his personal best after breaking away in the 19th kilometre.

Bekele’s best of 1:12:47 was set en route in the 2016 Berlin Marathon (which he won in 2:03:02) but a slow early pace, hovering around 3mins/km, ruled out any improvement.

Bekele had briefly drifted off the back of the lead pack around 12km when his compatriot Asefa Diro went through seven seconds ahead of him. But he soon got back on level terms before surging away just after 18km and leaving his pursuers in disarray. In this first international edition of the race he improved the course record by nearly 3.5 minutes.

Leading local runner Avinesh Sable, in fourth, ran a national record.
