N Kolay Istanbul Marathon, Turkey, November 6

Finishing runner-up a year ago Robert Kipkemboi Kiplimo went one better in a thrilling battle.

The Kenyan clocked 2:10:18 after dropping Marius Kimutai in the last kilometre of the race during an uphill stretch.

The former Kenyan who competes for Bahrain took second with 2:10:27 while Sila Kiptoo followed in third in 2:11:42 in very warm conditions especially in the second half.

Sechale Dalasa could not maintain her very fast first half pace, which pointed towards a 2:20 finish.

The Ethiopian, who won the Rome Marathon this spring, took the race in a PB 2:25:54. Fellow Ethiopians Melesech Tsegaye and Ethlemahu Sintayehu, who ran her debut in Istanbul, followed in second and third with times of 2:29:01 and 2:31:38 respectively.

X Milhas del Guadiana, Portugal to Spain, November 6

Four time Olympian Ana Dias, a regular at this race which made a return after a five year break with a testing run from Portugal to Spain across the Guadiana river separating the two countries.

Traditionally it was run over 10 miles but a sponsorship deal with the Portuguese city of Castro Marim which the race used to skirt now does a longer loop through the centre and past the imposing castle and the race has been as long as in recent years as 17.5km but this year was 16.5km and the men’s race was won by another Portuguese athlete Daniel Martins who reached the track finish at Alicante with a minute plus advantage.

The race with a fee of around 10 Euros offers a quality t-shirt and free food and drink as well as an unique race over two countries and the leading Briton in the race was former outright winner Clare Elms who finished third woman and won her W55 section by over 20 minutes.
Another many-time European masters champion Ros Tabor narrowly won the over-60 category despite now being well into the over 70 section.
Men (16.5km):
1 Daniel Martins 53:48
2 Fabio Mascarenhas 55:06
3 Luis Martins 56:07

Women:
1 Ana Dias 65:39
2 Liliana Verrissmo 69:26
