The Boston Marathon 2013 will start at 15th of April, 9.30AM local time (Eatern Time, i.e. GMT – 4hours). Germany will watch and cheer for Sabrina Mockenhaupt.
The marathon will be streamed online on this webpage from 9.30-12.30. The coverage will be available in most of the countries.
Sabrina Mockenhaupt took a surprising 4th place in the New York City Half Marathon 2013. Her time of 69:42min was the fastest since 4 years and the 3rd fastest in her career. She ran a faster second half and passed several runners in the final kilometers. Mockenhaupt commented: “I am very satisfied with my race. It was so cold, I could not feel my feet and fingers for a long time of the race.” In 4 weeks the 32-year old will run in the U.S. again in the Boston Marathon (April 15th).
The womens category was won by Caroline Rotich (KEN) after top favorite Kim Smith (NZL) dropped out at the 10K mark.
In the mens category, Wilson Kipsang dominated the field and took a secure win. The race was a good preparation for the London Marathon 2013 and his shape seems to be on the way. A surprise was Italian Daniele Meucci in 2nd. The Vice Champion of last years 5000m European Championships had a strong 2nd half and passed several higher prized athletes (e.g. debutant Bernard Lagat).

The Kenyans Samuel Kosgei and Mary Keitany wrote history in the 30th edition of the BIG 25 in Berlin. Never before a world record was set in mens and womens category in the same road race!
In the best 25K-race ever, the top athletes used the perfect weather conditions of 12-14°C with practically no winds and overcast sky.
In the mens race a big pack of around 20 athletes passed the 5K-mark in 14:29min. After that the pace remained high and the field was reduced step-by-step until kilometer 15 (43:05min). At this point the race was down to a battle between Samuel Kosgei and Gilbert Kirwa (both Kenya). At the end it was Samuel Kosgei who had the best legs and improved the previous world record (1:12:45h, Paul Kosgei in Berlin 2009) by almost one minute to 1:11:50h. Also Gilbert Kirwa broke the previous record by clocking 1:11:58h for second place. The podium was completed by Terefe Maregu (Eth) in 1:13:16h. Altogether nine athletes ran sub-1:15h.
The womens race was dominated by pre-race favorite Mary Keitany. The dominating female road racer of 2009 ran her own race and smashed the previous world record (1:22:13, Mizuki Noguchi in Berlin 2005). Led by two pacemakers she was on course for a sub-1:20h time all the way and crossed the finish line after 1:19:53h. Around five minutes later Alice Timbilili (1:24:38) and Pasalia Kipkoech (both Kenya/1:26:47) came home for 2nd and 3rd place.
