| Vienna City Marathon | Austria | | Vienna | Marathon | April | "Phillippedes was not alone! Our research shows that you were a soldier in the Greek army which fought the Persians at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. After the battle you ran with your friend Phillippedes to Athens, bringing news of the Greeks’ victory. On arriving in Athens Phillippedes called out: “Rejoice, we are victorious!” before he collapsed and died in the arms of his fellow citizens.We are delighted that after such a long period of silence you are now prepared to speak about this legendary event so as to help historians clear up the many unanswered questions to which Phillippedes is not longer in a position to respond." |

| Graz Marathon | Austria | | Graz | Marathon | October | "When, at ten clock, a record field of competitors of the Graz-marathons in the local newspaper to make their way, as the thermometer showed 14.5 degrees. ""The conditions are spectacular,"" enthused race director Hannes Langer, leaned out the window of the escort cars and shouted staccato be ""run easy"" in the cool autumn air. Pacemakers Guenther Weidlinger and a six-Kenyan lead group stayed at Langer's instructions. Footed she reeled off mile after mile - march towards the agreed course record. A feat not achieved in the end, the hours of the Ethiopian 2:12:25 Haiji Adilo Roba of 1999 were once again unrivaled. That took place further back from the incredible field of competitors. The Kenyan Kiyara Rael presented with their thin legs towards an almost incomprehensible pace and smashed a formal competition. Even course record holder Eva-Maria Gradwohl (2:37:32 hours), which ended on the half-distance into the race, could not keep up with the petite 26-year-olds. Gradwohl than 21 kilometers in 1:16:56 hours after a half-marathon champion ran to the finish, there was Kiyara already on the second loop. Detail on the edge. As fast as the Kenyan (Transit time 1:14:41) still did not run the half marathon." |
