Pamela Chepchumba confirmed their form in winning their races, with Chepchumba smashing her previous best of 2:29:48 set in the 2006 Paris Marathon. A seven-man group including three pacemakers passed 15km in 45:46, 45 seconds ahead of the chasing group. Two pacers dropped out at halfway, reached in 1:04:24, after which the pace slowed slightly as runners watched each other. At 30km it was down to four men: John Birgen, Norman Dlomo, Charles Kamathi and Cheruiyot. Dlomo tried to break away at 34km. Kamathi was dropped but Cheruiyot and Birgen responded quickly and the three passed 35km in 1:47:30. Cheruiyot and Birgen then went clear. Cheruiyot’s speed (he ran 59:05 in Udine) proved decisive at 39km when he pulled away from Birgen to finish in the Arco della Pace with a five-second advantage Margaret Okayo, the Milan record holder with 2:24:59 from 2002, hit the front early on and ran with Chepchumba, passing 10km in 33:45. She completed her test, coming back from injury, at halfway, passed in 1:11:50. In the second half Chepchumba continued running strongly at course record pace but showed signs of fatigue at the end, and the record slipped from her grasp. This was the fourth Marathon of her career. Bahrain’s Nadia Ejjaffini led Marcella Mancini by 50 seconds at 30km, but the Italian overhauled her at 40km to take second.

Two-time winner Amos Matui failed by just two seconds to catch his 19-year old compatriot. Veteran David Cheruiyot, who won Istanbul just five weeks ago, made it a Kenyan clean sweep and also finished under the old record. In contrast to his previous marathon start, when he duly dropped out as planned at 30km, Mbogo said he every intention of finishing in Singapore if he felt good at that point. The earlier start, 5.30am in the city-state meant that the athletes got the most temperate conditions they are ever likely to encounter in Singapore - 25C with 40% humidity at the start - and the men’s group of a dozen duly attacked Matui’s 2:15:01 record. They were still together at halfway in 66:55, but when the sun came up after an hour and half, and temperatures climbed towards 30C the field began to break up. They were on their way back into town at that point, after the long garden stretches beside the beach in the East Coast Park. When the lead car slowed to negotiate a bend Mbogo shot off into a 100m lead, which he built up to double that with 2km to go. Even then, as Matui said later, he still thought he could win. He set out with the same will as in the last two years, but he just ran out of road. “I knew he had a good kick, so I tried to build up as big a lead as possible,” said an exultant Mbogo. I was pacing until 30k, but I saw that the group was not so strong, so I decided to attempt it. Personal bests at 10km (28.24) and the half-marathon (61.40) in Europe two months ago and nine weeks’ altitude training near Mount Kenya provided the background for his victory. “I don’t want to rush into another marathon yet. I want to get better times for 10km and 59 minutes for the ‘half’,” he said. The women were always going to be chasing a dream time, Salina Kosgei’s 2:31:55 from last year. Veteran Edith Masai of Kenya could not stay with the young Ethiopian, Alem Ashebier, when she surged away at 35km. Ashebier won with a personal best by two minutes, despite the conditions.

Despite the pre-event publicity the challenge brings, the life went out of the men’s race as soon as they, including several 2:09 performers, realized that they would be unable to catch Silvia Skortsova, who duly pocketed a total of $45000.

Amy Chalk had even less difficulty in distancing the opposition to retain the women’s title. The half and full marathon runners started off together at 05.15 from the bandstand on the Esplanade outside the Prime Minister’s office, and most of the front runners in the half marathon had also run the 10km race around Bridgetown the previous afternoon. The convincing winners of the 10km, Kenyans Philip Lagat and Janet Cheberon, repeated their wins, with Lagat setting a new event record despite it being generally acknowledged that the new course is slightly more difficult than that previously run.
