Great weather and great prices made sure the turn-out for this race was as expected by the organizers. It's for a good cause, the Tokyo English Lifeline
(TELL), and one participant actually managed 130000Yen in donations! Traditionally, many Namban members place in this race, and the Ladies' 10k was won by Yuri Kambara in 38:54. Jason Lawrence prevailed in the Men's 5k in a course record of 15;27.
The winner of the Men's 10k, Kenji Oyama, not a Namban member, also broke the course record to finish in 32:44.
Other podium finishes by Namban included:
5k, women: Chika - 21:10 (5th), Eriko - 22:50 (7th, PB)
5k, men: Brett - 16:17 (4th), Omar 16:37 (6th)
10k, women: Rie - 41:36 (3rd), Mika - 43:45 (4th), Jane - 47:11 (6th), Yuka - 48:42 (8th)
