Wincanton Montferlandrun - 1st December
The Wincanton-Montferland Run is one of the best attended and fastest 15-K road races in the world. The course record belongs to ‘the most popular athlete worldwide and the best long-distance runner of all-time’ Haile Gebrselassie (he ran it in 42.36 minutes, last year). The event has had some ‘great winners’ such as Kenenisa Bekele, Felix Limo, William Kipsang and Richard Yatich (now known as Mubarak Hassan Shami). Khalid Khannouchi, Sileshi Sihine, Luke Kibet and Richard Limo have already graced ’s-Heerenberg. In 2007, there was only one race in the world – the Seven Hills Run at Nijmegen – with a faster male result at 15K for the winner.
