27 JUNE 2015: SCOTIABANK VANCOUVER HALF MARATHON, CANADA
Photos: Canada Running Series
Canadians Reid Coolsaet and Lanni Marchant cruised to comfortable home wins on a hot morning at the 17th edition writes Alan Brookes. Bright blue sunny skies greeted the 4400 runners from 29 countries and eight Canadian Provinces who took off from the University of British Columbia to run down to Stanley Park along the Pacific shores in one of the world's most-scenic urban road races. Another 2150 ran the accompanying 5km held entirely within the park.
A group of four broke away immediately in the men's race after an ambitious early opening. As it then slowed Reid Coolsaet moved to the front to pick things up, running with Matt Loiselle down to Spanish Banks to pass 10km in 30:26. Coolsaet broke clear in the 12th kilometre and cruised for home. Loiselle faded to third as 21-year old American collegiate runner Arya Bahreini from Oklahoma finished strongly to take second.
The women's race featured two intriguing contests: Lanni Marchant vs Natasha Wodak; and Masters' athletes Lioudmila Kortchaguina vs local runner Catherine Watkins. With Wodak running for the VOKRA cat rescue charity, wearing cat-like face make-up, the duel with Marchant was billed as the "Catfight in Vancouver". They stayed together for 12km before Marchant's road strength on the hills started to tell.

28 JUNE 2015: 19th VIDOVDAN 10km ROAD RACE, BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA
There is a unique atmosphere generated when several thousand children, participating in their own races, are able to see world-class male and female athletes run in the title 10km event.
Cosmas Birech imposed a fierce tempo and led by a wide margin from the start. At 5km he was on sub 28-minute schedule, but between 8–9km he slowed drastically, finishing with a time of 28:50. The warm and humid conditions played their part.
In the women's race Kenyans Angela Tanui and Martha Akeno ran together to 5km when Tanui went ahead. Akeno maintained her second place. The crowd were very excited about home athlete Lucia Kimani, returning to this race after two years, who came in third.
A record number of 900 children participated (between the ages of 2 and 6). The baby competition over 10m also had a record number of participants: 51.
All money gathered from race entries for the 2km event went to fund an operation "for little Marija".
