FANTASTIC FIVE! DUBAI’S RECORD-BREAKING MARATHON DOES IT AGAIN It may not be the oldest marathon in the world but when it comes to rewriting the record books the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon regularly shows the more established events a thing or two when it comes to setting running milestones. In January 2013, Lelisa Desisa and Tirfi Tsegaye stormed to victory in an Ethiopian clean sweep at a fog-wrapped Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon. It was Ethiopians all the way as they swept their Kenyan rivals from the board in both men’s and women’s races at the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard. But while there was glory for the two African stars the event struck gold yet again with the first FIVE men all breaking the 2:05 mark. It takes to TEN the number of sub 2:05 men in the history of the event – again, another record in marathon running. Desisa, 23, only got away from his rivals in the final 200m as the marathon debutant won in 2.04.45, for the 13th fastest time in history - and with four other men close behind, the quintet beat the previous year’s Dubai record of four sub-2.05 men. Long-time race leader Berhanu Shiferaw was second in 2.04.48, while another compatriot, veteran Tadesse Tola clocked a personal best 2.04.49 in third. The early fog for the 7am start (15C) dissipated when the leaders hit the coast after

Tsegaye was always part of the leading group, but by 30k she was out on her own, and although slacking off in the final stages, still won by close to 20 seconds. “I came with two aims,” she said. “I wanted to win and to run under 2.20. I was determined to push in the second half of the race, but by that time, it had become very humid, and it was affecting me. So I’m happy to win, but unhappy I didn’t break 2.20. I’ll have to come back next year and try again”. Her colleagues, Ehitu Kiros and Amane Gobena gained ground on her in the last five kilometres, but finished behind her in that order, Kiros
