New Record at Marugame Half Mara
Paul Kuira, a Kenyan based in Japan, out-kicked New Zealand’s Zane Robertson in the final 20 metres on the track to win the 69th edition of Kawaga Marugame International Half Marathon, an IAAF Silver Label Road Race, in a course record 59:47 on Sunday (1).
Robertson was also credited with the same time 59:47, both men being inside the former course record of 59:48 by Kenya’s Mekubo Mogusu from 2007. It was also the fastest half marathon of 2015 so far.
