Do the GST athletes have their timing chips pinned to the neck of their vests at the back? I keep on seeing odd protruding safety pins!

It was last Gold in 2023. The requirements now are to have athletes with a certain status based on their world ranking position regardless of nationality so it wouldn't matter that it's dominated by Ethiopia. They may have decided just not to apply for Gold status.

No argument with you on the human rights concerns about the country but the race hasn't got a Gold Label. It's a basic label race which only requires a $3000 fee.

Last marathon commentary of the year - with Jo Pavey on discovery+ from 0700 GMT for coverage of the Valencia Marathon - could be a speedy one on what will be an emotional day for the city.

I'm particularly intrigued by how Tanzania's Alfonce Simbu gets on in Valencia after winning the African Military Games marathon last week.

I think this is more about preventing the risk of athletes being asked to purposefully underperform rather than incentivising them to break records.

some niche road racing news from the 2025 WA Label road race regulations: - the no. of gold label marathons will be capped at 25 (in 2024 there are 28) - the first 20 gold labels will be awarded to those races who have held gold the longest. Next 5 will be highest prize money.
