Very fast times and thrilling races are expected at the Haspa Marathon Hamburg on Sunday. Just a year after Yalemzerf Yehualaw set a sensational course record of 2:17:23, which at that time was an unofficial world debut record as well, a fellow-Ethiopian will be at the start line, hoping to smash the mark: 20 year-old Tiruye Mesfin announced at the press conference in Hamburg that she targets a world-class time of sub 2:17. Brazil’s Daniel do Nascimento is among the men’s favorites. The South American record holder wants to bounce back after disaster struck in New York in November. After taking the European marathon gold in Munich in sensational style last summer Hamburg will be the first race at the classic distance for Germany’s Richard Ringer. Around 12,000 runners have registered for the marathon event while the total number including shorter races is over 30,000.
The course record and the Austrian record could be under threat at Sunday’s Vienna City Marathon and with them two major barriers that are ten minutes apart. While the current course best stands at 2:20:59 and an attack on that might lead to a first sub 2:20 winning time in the history of the Vienna City Marathon, no Austrian woman has ever run under 2:30. A strong group of Kenyan runners are the favorites with four of them featuring personal bests of sub 2:24. Close to her hometown Julia Mayer hopes to write Austrian marathon history on Sunday.
