| In picture-perfect conditions the Gold Coast Airport Marathon recorded the largest increase in participation in any one year over the 29-year history of the event, smashing the record set in 2006 by almost 2400 with a total of 16,200 people from 30 countries taking part in the six events. In the first time since 1994, it was a Japanese victory in both the men’s and women’s race. Toyokazu Yoshimura stormed home in a time of 2:20:07 to beat former New Zealand cross country champion Ben Ruthe who stunned the field by taking out second place in his debut marathon while journeyman Tanzanian, Oswald Revelian (2:20:48), improved on previous fifth and sixth placings in the Gold Coast event to claim third. In the women’s full distance race, 25-year-old Ayumi Hayashi took out her first marathon, finishing a full eight minutes in front of US marathon debutant Lindsey Scherf and Western Australia’s Lauren Shelley. |
