EINDHOVEN MARATHON,
NETHERLANDS
In ideal conditions (16°C, sunny, no wind) Philip Singoei
defended his title and bettered his 2:08:08 course
record from last year writes Wim van Hemert. It was
Singoei's fourth consecutive Eindhoven. In 2004 and
2005 he finished second in 2:10:07 and 2:08:45
respectively. "I love this course," he said afterwards. "I
was very confident to win."
A big group of Africans went through 10km in 29:40
but at 15km (44:36) they were reduced to four: Singoei,
William Todoo Rotich (who eventually did not finish),
Joseph Ngeny Kiprotich and pacemaker Charles Koech.
At halfway Koech stopped and the other three were on
their own. The pace stayed very fast as the trio passed
30km in 1:29:57. Rotich dropped back at 33km and soon
after that point he stopped. Just before 35km Singoei
accelerated and left his last rival.
In the last 7km he opened a gap of nearly two
minutes.
Lydia Kurgat was a comfortable winner in the
women's race, well ahead of compatriots Tabitha Kibet
and Eunice Korir. The event drew a record 16,046
participants: 1775 in the marathon, 8135 in the half
marathon and 6830 in the City Run (6km).

POZNAN MARATHON, POLAND
A total of 2400 runners gathered on a sunny but cold
morning at Malta Lake to take part in Poland’s biggest
ever marathon. The number surpassed that recorded in
Warsaw in the early 1980s. The City's Mayor and his
deputy both took part.
On the first lap pacemaker Pawel Ochal led the
elite group of three Kenyans (Ndegwa, Tangus and
Kilimo), two Poles (Dudycz and Drwal) and two
Ukrainians (Starodubtsev and Remshchuk). From 27-
36km Tangus and Ndegwa ran together leaving, Dudycz
100m chasing them 100m adrift. At 40km Dudycz
caught them, but a kilometre later Tangus escaped to
cross the finish line well ahead. Dudycz managed to
outrun Ndegwa with only 300m to go.
Apart from runners over 300 inline skaters finished
the half marathon race as well.
