1 JULY 2012: GOLD COAST AIRPORT MARATHON, AUSTRALIA
A record 28,224 runners, over 9000 from outside Queensland, took part across all races in the 34th edition, and the title event recorded the most finishers ever in an Australian marathon race (5,094). The Gold Coast will host the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Alemayehu Shumye became the first Ethiopian man to win the race, but missed the race record by 35 seconds. "I flew in from Ethiopia yesterday and had no sleep and little rest," he said. "I felt tired throughout". Repeating her win of last year Kaori Yoshida blitzed her rivals but fell just a minute outside the course record. "I was running by myself, aiming to break the course record, but the weather got hot towards the end," she said.
Alex Watson surprised everyone with a winning debut in the women's ASICS Half Marathon in a personal best of 1:13:07. She had recovered from a life-threatening injury last year: "10 months ago I had two major surgeries to remove a huge tumour from my stomach," she said. "The doctors said I should not be here today. After my surgery I couldn't even walk. So winning my debut half marathon race is amazing."
25-year-old Liam Adams also took a half marathon debut victory, in a close race with only six seconds separating him from second-placed Harry Summers.

29 JULY 2012: MEDIA MARATON INT'L DE BOGOTA, COLOMBIA
Peter Kirui outclassed the competition in the 13th edition, running solo from 11km and finishing just 6 seconds outside the record set by countryman Geoffrey Mutai last year, writes Derek Froude. Gladys Cherono easily captured the women's title running seven seconds faster than last year's winner, but well outside Susan Chepkemei's 8-year-old course record of 1:10:39. The race attracted over 14,000 entrants with another 30,000 registered in the accompanying 10km (including Colombia's President, Juan Manuel Santos).
A group of six men quickly drew away, led mainly by Wilson Chebet and Victor Kipchirchir. Kirui hit the front at 10km with only Feyisa Lilesa briefly being able to stay with him. Powering through several sharp turns Kirui dropped his Ethiopian rival and open a significant lead. From there it was a race against the clock, and the course record seemed possible right up until the end.
The small group of elite women started seven minutes in front of the men. Kenyans Gladys Cherono and Helah Kiprop, along with Ethiopian Abebech Afework, led from the start and opened up a big gap. By 14km Kiprop let go, leaving the other two battling at the front for another 2km before Cherono surged one more time to open a gap that grew to a winning margin of 1:22.
