| City of Christchurch Marathon New Zealand Christchurch Marathon June info@sbsmarathon.co.nz http://www.christchurchmarathon.co.nz "The feature Full Marathon passed through the 15k mark with favourites Matt Smith (ChCh) and Jason Woolhouse (Melbourne) 1min ahead of Luke Hurring (ChCh), Matt Dravitzki (Wgtn) and Ethiopia's Wondwosen Geleta. Through Hagley Park at 19k Smith put some mild pressure on Woolhouse, who was forced to let go and by halfway 69min 22secs Smith has a 15sec lead, with Hurring, Dravitzki and Geleta 80secs back. But Smith, a former English rep who is now a NZ citizen, was too strong. In the cold conditions Woolhouse would fail to finish, but Smith actually ran the second half faster to win in 2hrs 18min 14secs. This made him a rare dual winner following his half marathon win in 2008." |
