Lining up alongside some of best long-distance athletes in the world, including Brigid Kosgei, Peres Jepchirchir and Julien Wanders, some 5,100 runners will compete across a variety of race categories, including full half marathon, relay, 5 km and a 1 km fun run. The 14th edition of the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon boasts a truly impressive line-up of world-class elite runners. In the women’s race, women’s marathon world record-holder, Brigid Kosgei from Kenya, will be accompanied by a further 10 runners with sub 67-minute personal bests. Joining Kosgei among the favourites will be former half marathon World record holder, Peres Jepchirchir, reigning World Half Marathon champion Netsanet Gudeta, and 2018 Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon winner, Fancy Chemutai. Also in action will be the last two winners of the ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon, Ababel Yeshaneh and Vivian Kiplagat. The elite field in the men’s race is also one of the best ever for a half marathon, featuring 11 runners with sub 60- minute personal bests, including European half marathon record-holder, Julien Wanders from Switzerland. Speaking at a pre-race press conference, one of the men’s favourites, Alexander Mutiso Munyao, commented: "I’m pleased to have recently run 59.09 which is the fastest half marathon time of 2020 so far. While this was my personal best, I’m aiming to break it in Ras Al Khaimah.” Marathon world record holder, Brigid Kosgei said: “I think Ras Al Khaimah is a fantastic course as several world records were broken on it before. While I’m preparing now for the London Marathon, I would like to break my personal record this weekend for the half marathon.” Renowned as the world’s fastest half marathon, this year’s Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon will see a prize purse of AED 1,219,000 distributed among the leading elite runners as well as the UAE National and age group categories. With registration for all race categories now closed, a total of 5,100 participants from 114 different nationalities have signed up. This number includes 3,174 for the half marathon itself, which starts at 07:00am and also features two-person and four-person relay formats, while the 5 km race starts at 10:30am and the 1 km fun run, specially designed for families and children, at 11:00am. The elite awards ceremony for the half marathon winners will take place at 08:20am within the specially created race village. The race village will be open to competitors and spectators alike from 05:00am. With both starting and finishing points located adjacent to the village, it will be the ideal venue from which to support the runners. Additionally, visitors will be able to watch live footage of the race on the main stage screen, visit sponsor booths, choose from a range of food and beverage options, and enjoy the family entertainment on offer, including crazy golf, mini bowling, a climbing wall, a bouncy castle and a bungee trampoline. Parking is available just off Marjan Island, a short walk to the race village as well as start and finish areas. Sports fans in the UAE and across the MENA region can enjoy all the sporting action from the comfort of their own homes, courtesy of an international feed by Dubai Sports. The live programme will be aired with both Arabic and English commentary and will cover the race and awards ceremony. The event will also be broadcast in Italy by Sky Sport, in South America by ESPN and in all remaining countries around the world by both Endurance Sports and the Olympic Channel on their web live-streaming platforms. Highlights will be broadcast in Russia and Sub-Saharan Africa by Start TV and Star Times respectively. Raki Phillips, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, commented: “With more runners than ever before, and a field of elite athletes that cements its position as one of the best half marathons in the world, the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon continues to go from strength to strength. With a new route for 2020, the race organization has been the best yet, and will allow all participants and visitors to enjoy a remarkable day in our beautiful Emirate.” Federico Rosa quote: “The line-up of runners for this year’s half marathon is truly exceptional and would generate great excitement in any normal year. But with the Tokyo Olympics only a few months away, and runners gearing up towards the pinnacle of the sporting calendar, we are hoping to witness something really special this weekend, with some very fast times. There has certainly never been a better time to come along to Ras Al Khaimah and enjoy competitive international running at its very best.” -ENDS- Photo captions: Image 1- Elite Athletes on Marjan Island Ras Al Khaimah.

The women’s list features the reigning World Champion, Peres Jepchirchir fresh from her Half marathon World Record performance (1:05:06 in RAK) in February. She will be challenged by the Prague event record holder Violah Jepchumba (1:05:51) who ran the fastest half marathon in the world in 2016, and RunCzech Racing’s young star, Joyciline Jepkosgei (1:06:08 in RAK this year). The race will include two other women with PRs under 1:07; Worknesh Degefa of Ethiopia, the former event record holder and Kenyan Gladys Chesir. Of interest also are two American challengers Jordan Hasay who debuted in Houston this year with a 1:08:40 and Maegan Krifchin (1:09:51) along with the fastest Czech woman, Eva Vrabcova. The men’s field is also blessed with a World Record Holder in the person of Leonard Patrick Komon who claims road records at 10K and 15K which he set in 2010. Komon will be trying to improve on his third place finish in Prague from 2015. The biggest threat may come from another Kenyan, Barselius Kipyego who ran 59:15 in Usti nad Labem last September setting a course record on what had not previously been considered a fast course.

  • President Rodrigo Duterte's Economic Team
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 07/31/2020 6:07:26 PM Media Releases (February to June 2020) 1. March 16 Media Release: Philippine DoF pledges over USD525 million to support health authorities and provide economic relief during COVID-19 March 16, 2020 PRESS RELEASE Gov’t economic team rolls out P27.1 B package vs COVID-19 pandemic President Rodrigo Duterte’s economic team has announced a P27.i-billion package of priority actions to help frontliners fight the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and provide economic relief to people and sectors affected by the virus-induced slowdown in economic activity. The package consists of government initiatives to better equip our health authorities in fighting COVID-19 and also for the relief and recovery efforts for infected people and the various sectors now reeling from the adverse impact of the lethal pathogen. Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, who chairs the Duterte Cabinet's Economic Development Cluster (EDC), said on Monday the measures in the package “are designed to do two things: First is to ensure that funding is available for the efforts of the Department of Health (DOH) to contain the spread of COVID-19. Second is to provide economic relief to those whose businesses and livelihoods have been affected by the spread of this disease.” “As directed by President Duterte, the government will provide targeted and direct programs to guarantee that benefits will go to our workers and other affected sectors. We have enough but limited resources, so our job is to make sure that we have sufficient funds for programs mitigating the adverse effects of COVID-19 on our economy,” he added.
