The newly established IAAF Road <strong>Running</strong> Commission, which held its first meeting in June 2007 includes amongst its members three representatives of the board of AIMS: Hiroaki Chosa, the President of AIMS, Francisco (Paco) Borao, the vice-president of AIMS and the AIMS General Secretary, Hugh Jones. This representation of AIMS and its 240 member races will, I am certain, help us to formulate along with the other members of the Commission, new ways of bringing the road running community around the world and the IAAF closer together. One of the first recommendations of the Commission, which has been adopted by Council, is the introduction of IAAF Labels for road races. The IAAF Gold and Silver Labels for Road Races recognise the enormous efforts that are made by race organisers around the world and we believe that the high standards that are required to achieve both will be something to which all races will aspire. Just like our athletes – be they elite athletes or fun-runners - we all strive to improve as best we can. We believe that introducing the IAAF Labels will give races further incentives to continue to better the level of services that they offer their participants, engage stronger elite fields and do everything that they can to increase the exposure of their event through the international media. I assure you of the continuing efforts of the IAAF to support and promote road running and all other areas of athletics and wish all of you a happy and successful 2008. 14 October 2007 2nd IAAF World Road Race Championships, 21.1Km Udine, Italy. King of the hill The steep-sided hill on which Udine Castle stands imposingly provided a colourful backdrop to the finishing straight of the IAAF World Road <strong>Running</strong> Championships in Udine’s Piazza 1st Maggio writes Chris Turner. Hundreds of flag waving Eritrean fans, who had travelled the 650km from the large national ex-pat community which is situated in Rome, packed its grassy banks, exuberantly celebrating each time the men’s leading pack came into their view. The noise they made was even loud enough on occasions to drown out the sound of the rock music which pounded away to the rhythm of the runners to keep the crowd entertained during the three-lap race. Eritrea’s World Road <strong>Running</strong> champion Zersenay Tadese who retained his title, summedup the inspiring atmosphere. “It felt like the whole of Eritrea was running with me.” Taking advantage of ideal conditions and a fast three-lap course, the race was quick from the start. A lead group of eight went through 5km in 13:55. Past 10km (27:35) Tadese and Ethiopia's Deriba Merga ran stride for side with Patrick Makau and Evans Cheruiyot a step or two behind. These four passed 15km in 41:34, just five seconds shy of Sammy Wanjiru's world record for the distance set earlier this year. Cheruiyot then dropped back a few metres but worked his way back to rejoin the leading three at 20km (56:13), just as the 25-year-old Eritrean made his decisive break. Tadese had made the pace throughout most of the race but changed his tacics after passing 15km. “The race had to slow” he RESULT MEN: 1 Zersenay TADESE ERI 58:59 2 Patrick Makau MUSYOKI KEN 59:02 3 Evans Kiprop CHERUIYOT KEN 59:05 4 Deriba MERGA ETH 59:16 5 Yonas KIFLE ERI 59:30 6 Dieudonné DISI RWA 59:32 7 Marilson DOS SANTOS BRA 59:33 8 Dickson Marwa MKAMI TAN 1:00:24 9 Atsushi SATO JPN 1:00:25 10 Cuthbert NYASANGO ZIM 1:00:26 TEAMS: 1 Kenya 2:58:54 2 Eritrea 2:59:08 3 Ethiopia 3:01:15 WOMEN: 1 Lornah KIPLAGAT NED 1:06:25 2 Mary Jepkosgei KEITANY KEN 1:06:48 3 Pamela CHEPCHUMBA KEN 1:08:06 4 Bezunesh BEKELE ETH 1:08:07 5 Atsede HABTAMU ETH 1:08:29 6 Everline K KIMWEI KEN 1:08:39 7 Chisato OSAKI JPN 1:08:56 8 Luminita TALPOS ROM 1:09:01 9 Alice Jemeli TIMBILILI KEN 1:09:09 10 Alina GHERASIM ROM 1:09:14 TEAMS: 1 Kenya 3:23:33 2 Ethiopia 3:25:51 3 Japan 3:27:39 <strong>Distance</strong> <strong>Running</strong> January – March 2008 13
