Congratulations to all the guys that finished the half and full marathons at this year’s Gold Coast Marathon. Everyone woke early to participate in the 21.1 and 42.2, half and full marathons respectively. Tanya took home bragging rights in the half marathon finishing in 1hr:48mins. Other times were Tiffany 1:53, Gary 1:53, Andrew 1:52, Sandra 2:24, Andrew 1:52 and Averill 2: 31. Brad took the bragging rights in the marathon, finishing in an impressive 3:17, with Matt finishing in an extremely respectable 3:55. It was a great effort from everyone to get out to the Gold Coast early on a Sunday’s winter morning.
It is important to note that there were also other people that finished in various distances. The GC marathon had a record 23, 812 participants across the various formats. In the men’s marathon James Kariuki of Kenya came in first with a time of 2:13. Africans took out the top five spots in the men’s marathon (who would have thought Africans would go alright at a marathon). Kaori Yoshida of Japan finished first with a time of 2:31 in the women’s marathon, with the Japanese women taking out the top 3. Jeffrey Hunt took out an Aussie quinella in a time of 1:03 in the half marathon, with Aussie Lisa Weightman claiming top spot in the women’s in a time of 1:09 just behind the boys. Regardless of how fast everyone ran and what place or time they finished everyone that finished is a winner (extremely corny I know, but very true).
