JUNGFRAU MARATHON, SWITZERLAND
Markus Hohenwarter put up a commanding
performance on the flatter first section as well as on
the steeper parts and scored a start-to-finish victory.
British runner Huw Lobb took second place with
Robert Krupicka from the Czech Republic making a
strong finish to come in third. Aline Camboulives from
France was the first-placed woman in front of two
Swiss.
4206 runners lined up at 09.00 in Interlaken for the
start signal from European Marathon Champion Viktor
Röthlin. The route led from Interlaken up to Kleine
Scheidegg, a height gain of1800m. Some 30,000
spectators followed the race in Interlaken and along
the route, enjoying wonderful weather.
Measured by the number of participants, the
Jungfrau Marathon is the world’s biggest mountain
marathon. Next year, two marathons will be held to
mark the 20th anniversary of the event and so twice
the number of starting places will be available. The
double event will take place on 8-9 September 2012.
The World Championship Long-Distance Mountain
Running event will also be held within the event.

MATTONI PRAGUE GRAND PRIX
A minute’s silence was held before each of the races
led by the Czech footballer Pavel Nedved, in tribute to
the three national ice hockey players who died in a
plane crash earlier in the week. Despite such a sad
start, the race was a huge success.
Philemon Limo was quickly into the lead alongside
three others, with two groups of four hard on their
heels. By 3km Limo had broken away with Henry
Chirchir and Adugna Tekele. He won in 27:34,
smashing the course record by nearly thirty seconds.
The adidas Women’s Race 5km, started an hour and
a half earlier at 19.00, was much more
straightforward. Race favourite Priscah Ngetich was
never challenged for the lead. By 4km she
was clear of the field and looked as if she might break
the 2002 course record, but in the end she was just
two seconds outside.
