Breaking away from his competitors shortly after start, David Kanyari front-ran all the way to win by almost eight minutes from local Tromso runner Jens Kristian Berg. Under 2:30 won him a 10,000 NOK bonus, and this is a good time in the cold and rainy conditions. It was his second victory in the race. Norwegian Mari Brox won the women's race more than 16 minutes ahead of the next runner.
A total of 3,237 runners took part in all events, coming from 60 countries, with the 600 limit reached in the full marathon. There was a 30% increase in the Toro Halfmarathon with almost 650 participants, and in all distances the women's share was close to 50%.
Chip timing was used for the first time and was well received by the runners.

26 JUNE 2010: OLOMOUC HALF MARATHON, CZECH REPUBLIC
Perfect weather conditions, a fast, flat course and a strong elite field combined to yield an inaugural course record of 59:59. 1,850 runners filled the City's main square just before 19.00 on Saturday evening in an unbeatable setting for a race that is sure to become an annual event.
The pace was fast from the gun as three men broke away after 6km in the Flora Park. Exiting the Park, Stephen Kibet, Stephen Tum and Musyoky were leading as the tempo really picked up. Starting the second lap, the favourite, Joserph Maregu, was two minutes down but Kibet broke away, quickly establishing a gap and finishing strongly just under the magical hour mark, with Tum in second and Maregu managing to pass Musyoki for third.
The women's race follow a similar pattern as Asnakech Mengitsu, broke away after a few kilometres and ran almost the entire race on her own. Mengitsu passed the 10km mark in 34:11, 55 seconds up on Mercy Jemutai and Lucia Kimani. As Mengistu forged further ahead Kimani passed Jemutai to take second place. Petra Kaminkova, an Olomouc native, finished fourth and was very excited about the race and the number of spectators that had turned out to watch.

26 JUNE 2010: PORTUMNA MARATHON, IRELAND
After a trial last year the official inaugural Marathon, 50km and 100km races were held under ideal conditions. A compact field of 38 athletes lined up for the marathon held entirely within the Portumna Forest Park in the West of Ireland. Organisers expect the event to grow substantially over coming years. The marathon was staged over an enclosed 5km loop through mature woodland over good tarmac roads that were entirely traffic free.
John O'Connor, of local club Athenry AC said, "It was a beautiful race. It was so refreshing to be running through such a natural, uncluttered setting. The surroundings really added to the overall race experience."
Race organiser, Seb Locteau commented: "We've started small but have concrete plans to make this a bigger and better event in years to come. For this race we concentrated on getting the details right. We have a beautiful venue that we believe will prove attractive to both competitive and recreational runners alike."

27 JUNE 2010: SCOTIABANK VANCOUVER HALF MARATHON, CANADA
Defending champion Kip Kangogo and Calgary veteran Lisa Harvey made it a good morning for Alberta as both earned comfortable victories in the 12th edition of the race. The record total 5,471 runners were drawn from 11 countries, 21 American states, and 8 Canadian provinces, and another 963 participated in the accompanying 5km. Combined, they raised an impressive $524,000 for 29 charities in the Scotiabank Group Charity Challenge.
147deg;C, light rain and a slight breeze made for good runing conditions. A group of seven men quickly formed, but after only 2km (passed in 6:02) it was down to three: Kangogo, his training partner Willy Kimosop, and Josephat Ongeri. The fourth kilometre was run in 2:53, and the fifth in a spritely 2:49 [14:47 at 5km] with Ongeri pushing the pace. That took care of Kimosop, and Ongeri and Kangogo then ran shoulder to shoulder. They hit 10km on the flats of Spanish Banks in 29:38 with a picture-perfect Pacific NorthWest vista: mist over the ocean and the North Shore Mountains. Kangogo pulled away hard just after 11km (32:35). Ongeri dropped like a stone and it became a time-trial. Kamgogo passed 15km in 44:49, striving to break the course record of 1:03:10. for a $1,000 bonus. The chance slipped away with an 18th kilometre of 3:15, over the Burrard Bridge and into the breeze, and from there Kangogo coasted down Pacific to enter the park and cross the line in 63:51.
Lisa Harvey led the women's race from start to finish, to claim her second victory in the Scotia Vancouver Half, after finishing second for the past three years in a row. She also turned the tables on last year's champion, Lioudmila Kortchaguina of Toronto who crossed the line just over half a minute behind. Kortchaguina was pleased to be back racing and returning to form after a Springtime of injury challenges.
