Hong Kong Marathon - Recap

Dereje Abera of Ethiopia set a course record of 2.11.27 in 2012, but Julius Maisei of Kenya was only a second behind.

On paper, there is a very evenly balanced men's elite field  six runners within a minute of one another between 2.08 and 2.09. But since James 
Mbugua ran his 2.08.05 in Nairobi, at 1500 metres altitude, that might just
