Anyone ever heard of this race? Check out these stats...lots of fast guys!
The Ageo City Half Marathon is annually the deepest half marathon in the world--this is the race where as many as 400 men will come out of the woodwork to run run under 1:10. This year, hot weather slowed things a bit, but the times were still extraordinary: 100th place was just under 1:07, and 50th under 1:06. The winning time, never all that fast even in good weather, was 1:03:44.
