The 2010 RAK Half Marathon at Ras Al Khaimah (UAE) has just finished and the results are out. Sterling performance from Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya landed him the winner’s medal in a time of 59:43. The women’s race was won by Elvan Abeylegesse of Turkey (born in Ethiopia), in a performance which left the experienced Ethiopian contingent scampering for the lower places! Both the men’s and women’s world record remained untouched by significant margins despite strong fields.
Some amazing stats from the event:
- Fastest ever debut half marathon (female)
- The only half marathon in history where five women broke the 68 minutes in the same race
- All time best times for 4th and 5th places (women)
- National UAE Record (men)
- Turkish National Record (women)
- Ethiopian National Record (women)
- Course Record …(women)
- Course Record (men – masters)
