Osaka Marathon 2014 - Five Flexifitness Athletes Participating in the event
There are five runners from Flexifitness who will be taking part in the Osaka Marathon 2014, on 26th of October. I have heard that the 42.195km marathon road running event will be held in the city of Japan. The first edition took place on October 30, 2011.
The men's best time is still 2hr 11min 54sec (2012) and the athlete who did it was Ser-Od Bad-Ochir from Mongolia, while the women best time was 2hr 32min 48sec (2011), Lidia Simon, from Romania.
Last year's winners, in the men's and women's race were both Kenyans by the name of Jackson Limo and Monica Jepkoech who won the race in 2hr 12min 06sec and 2hr 39min 33sec, respectively.
The weather, according to Lim Thow Wee, is predicted to be between 9 degrees and 18 degrees centigrade, with an average temperature of 15 degrees.
