Ome 30 km Road Race to Offer 2 Million Yen Bonus for New Course Record By a Japanese Citizen – translated by Brett Larner – Japan Running News

The organizing committee of the Ome 30 km Road Race announced on Sept. 17 that it will offer 2 million yen [~$16,500 USD] bonuses to the top Japanese finishers for new men's and women's course records at the event's 50th running on Feb. 21, 2016. 

The current official men's course record is 1:30:21 set by Masaki Ito in 2013, while the women's course record is 1:39:09 set by Mizuki Noguchi in 2004.  Men will receive an additional 1 million yen if they break the fastest time ever run on the Ome course, the 1:29:32 mark set by Toshihiko Seko in 1981 while running as a guest runner. 

Course record setters must be Japanese citizens and currently registered with the JAAF to be eligible for the bonuses.
