Results of the Buriram Marathon, held on 11th Feb. Once again, Kenyan athletes took home most of the prize money. How come Kenyans are such great long distance runners ?

42.2km marathon had 3581 competitors. Kenya-Kenya-China-Thai

21.1km half marathon had 3695 competitors. Kenya-Kenya-Kenya-Kenya

10km run had 3473 competitors. Kenya-Thai-Thai-Thai

An unknown number of mums, dads and kids participated in the 5km fun run.

Kudos to the organisers for attracting nearly 11,000 official competitors. Great publicity for Buriram, and a nice little tourism earner.

As an aside, the lady next door to me vacated her modest 2 bedroom home for 2 nights (she went to her mum's house), and rented the house out to 6 visitors involved with the marathon.

What did she receive ? 4000 baht cash per night, kop khun khup. 8k is a nice little earner for 2 days in anyones language.    thumbup
