‚Kiyeng, Kamais and Kawauchi Headline the Cape Town Marathon‘ – By Brett Larner – Japan Running News

The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon has recruited five men who have run under 2:08:00 but most of the attention at the IAAF Silver Label Road Race will be focused on Japan’s Yuki Kawauchi on Sunday (20).

Kawauchi is one of the most intriguing runners on the international marathon circuit, as he is able to maintain remarkably consistent form at the highest level, despite holding down a full-time job.
