Athletics/KL International Marathon: Tarus Too to defend title
10 Mar 2007
DEVINDER SINGH
SAMUEL Tarus Too from Kenya returns to defend his title as the Ambank Kuala Lumpur International Marathon (KLIM) on Mar 18 remains on course to attract its biggest ever participation.
About 6,500 entries, including 628 from abroad, have been received eight days before the race flags off at Dataran Merdeka.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall director-general Datuk Salleh Yusup said the organisers are hopeful they will receive a record 10,000 entries before the closing date on Mar 17.
"The goal is to ensure 10,000 runners compete in the 14 categories of KLIM, which would make this year抯 event the biggest in terms of participation in the 23-year history of the race," he said at the City Hall headquarters yesterday.
"With one week left before entries close, the organisers are confident of meeting the target."
Tarus Too, who won last year抯 race in a time of 2 hours, 21 minutes and one second, will face a strong challenge this year.
Godwin Adukpo, 19, who became Ghana抯 youngest marathon champion when he won the Accra Milo Marathon last year on his third attempt in a time of 2:29:29s, will be out for his second international marathon title.
Kenyan Sammy Kosgei, who was third in the 2006 Memphis Marathon in North Carolina will also pose a strong challenge together with his compatriot John Setanei Chebei, last year抯 KLIM runner-up.
Ghana抯 Millicent Boadi is the favourite in the women抯 race after she finished fifth in the Amsterdam Marathon last October in a time of 2:30:03s.
China, who led a sweep of the women抯 podium last year, have their top women抯 marathon runner Xu Si competing.
Malaysia抯 best marathon runner last year, Shaharudin Hashim, who came in 13th, will strive to become the first Malaysian winner of the men抯 race since P. Sidamparam in 1989.
Yuan Yu Fang was the last Malaysian champion in the women抯 race when she won in 2000 and 2003.
KLIM offers a total cash purse of RM300,000 with the winner of the Men's Open taking home RM25,000.
Besides the full marathon, the other categories include a half-marathon, a 10km run, a 7km fun run and a Kids Run category for children aged 12 and below. |
