Japan hosts a number of elite Marathons with tough qualifying criteria. I managed to run all of them during my career including three visits to Beppu – 94 (4th) 2.11.51 – 95 (1st) 2.09.39 and 99 (7th) 2.11.39. Beppu will take place this Sunday (Feb 5) and Australia’s own Jeff Hunt will be towing the line. You can watch the race live on the net – more details here…
