2-3 OCTOBER 2004: CAPE TOWN FESTIVAL OF RUNNING, SOUTH AFRICA Founded in 1997, the Capetown Festival of <strong>Running</strong> now attracts nearly 3000 runners to its four main events and Charity 10km walk. These include 100-mile, 100km, half marathon and 10x10km relay. All are held over a scenic 10km circuit right beside the Atlantic coast. There are four refreshment stations, a medical facility and a soup kitchen located on the lap, and competitors get split times for each lap. 100 MILES: MEN: 1 Johannes GAWAXAMAB NAM 15:38:26 2 Milton NKONYANE RSA 18:21:36 3 Pieter HANEKOM RSA 18:29:04 WOMEN: 1 Martha PRETORIUS RSA 18:09:36 2 Frieda MUIR RSA 24:28:50 3 Nikki CAMPBELL RSA 25:21:36 100km MEN: 1 Moses NGQOLA RSA 8:02:35 2 Johannes GAWAXAMAB NAM 8:05:46 3 Doctor TSHISEKO RSA 8:23:14 WOMEN: 1 Stynie PRINS RSA 9:10:21 2 Martha PRETORIUS RSA 9:35:40 3 Arina GILLIERS RSA 11:29:39 HALF MARATHON: MEN: 1 Neo MOLEMA RSA 1:03:53 2 Gilbert MUTANDIRO RSA 1:05:08 3 Thembelani ZOLA RSA 1:07:05 4 John MBOKO RSA 1:07:20 5 Patrick KETELO RSA 1:07:33 WOMEN: 1 Nomvuyesi SETI RSA 1:22:47 2 Francis ROMAN RSA 1:24:14 3 Esme KOOPMAN RSA 1:25:09 4 Norma NONKOMYANA RSA 1:25:52 5 Sheryl DELANGE RSA 1:28:12 3 OCTOBER 2004: 19th PLUS BUDAPEST INT’L MARATHON, HUNGARY In the biggest leisure event in Hungary nearly 14,000 people ran and almost 150,000 people went to see the various sport and music programs or to cheer for the runners. Jackton Odhiambo breasted the tape first in the marathon, before the winner of the Hungarian championship, Roland Ádok from Veszprém. Simona Staicu set a new record in the women’s race. The Marathon incorporated relay and Ekiden events. Every third runner was from abroad, but for the top Hungarian runners the goal was to win the Hungarian Championship. The lead group held together only for 4km, after which Odhiambo went ahead and continually increased his advantage. Ferenc Sági led the rest of the field until the 37km, after which Ádok, only 20 years old, took over and went on to win the Hungarian Championship. In the women’s race Simona Staicu had only one opponent: the clock. Simona, who took part in Olympic Games six weeks before, beat Ida Kovacs’ 2002 course record. Mariann Poth, running her second marathon, came through to overtake Petra Teveli in the last kilometre for second place. Among the rest of the field were 400 runners who completed a marathon for the first time, and enjoyed great support for the entire length of the course. Several thousand runners took part in the Plus Fun Run and Minimarathon or Family Run (800m) and in a walk organized for international walking day.

The host Marathon Club issued a book presenting the history of this oldest marathon in Europe. The race started in ideal windless weather. The course was the same as that used for the 1997 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships. A leading group of eight runners hit the halfway mark in 1:06:02, but then reduced to three Kenyans - Kipbor, Kipruto and Yabei, accompanied by the Pole, Adam Dobrzynski, who had finished second in 2002 and third in 2003. At 25km, the Kenyans decided to pull away, speeding up to 2:59–3:02/km pace, and gained a 40-second lead. Dobrzynski did not give up, and at 35km passed the group of Kenyans to take the lead. He won the race in a new course record, cheered by thousands of spectators. Dobrzynski later commented on the good crowd support. Rika Tabashi, a 22-year old Japanese, came to Europe for the first time. In 2004 she finished 11th in Boston and in autumn she won in Kosice, the two oldest marathons in the world. Improving her personal best by more than five minutes she became the second Japanese winner of the Kosice Peace Marathon, after Takeshi Soh, who won in 1976 (2:18:42). Second finisher - Sue Harrison also improved her personal best (London, 2:38:20), placing highest among the 4-member British team in Kosice. Mikulá Dzurinda, Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, could not miss the anniversary marathon. Following his runs in New York and London he finished his 14th Kosice Peace Marathon in 3:28:13. Kosice also included an in-line half marathon a wheelchair marathon and almost 1000 mostly young people in a 4.2km fun run. Kosice DISTANCE RUNNING January - March 2005 Budapest 15

The race starts on the spectacular south side of Loch Ness and descends through Highland glens and forest, to run alongside the famous Loch itself for most of the route. A crowd of thousands supported the runners along the final four miles through the city of Inverness, where massed pipes & drums and a Highland feast awaited runners and supporters at the finish. Scottish ultra-distance runner Simon Pride won this second Loch Ness Marathon Ruaridh Campbell took third place for the second time. Edinburgh’s Jan Roxburgh just ducked under three hours to take the women’s title. The inaugural River Ness 10km, which follows a fast, flat route through the Highland capital of Inverness, attracted 1000 runners. Both winners, Eric Kiplagat in 30:22 and Kathy Matwa in 34:58, were Kenyans.
