and humid conditions kept times slow — over five minutes slower than the course record of 2:11:25 set by Luke Kibet in 2008. Mungara also won in 2010, and has won nine of the 15 marathons he has run since 2007 following his late competitive debut in his mid-thirties. Waganesh Amare was only entered at the last moment, as a replacement. She turned up the night before, barely slept due to the 05.00 start, but coped with everything her rivals could throw at her, and then took a minute off them in the final 3km. Haile Gebrselassie had done the rounds as the race ambassador in the previous few days, and found conditions in the 10km too hot and humid - to handle. As the temperature topped 30C he lost out in the final stages to the Kenyan pair of Solomon Keter and Thomas Maritim.
“We are proud of the success the marathon has achieved in organization, participation and media coverage. The Marathon will continue to spread the message of a healthy lifestyle and the art of volunteering,” confirmed HRH Princess Dana Feras, who deputized for HRH Prince Feras Bin Raed, the chair of the Run Jordan Board. Over the past four years the event has initiated an awareness and participation in road running. Most growth has been in the 10km, with the first 7km run through the idyllic new Ayla Golf and Residential resort.

12 December 2014 Ayla Red Sea Half Marathon Jordan Over 2000 runners converged on the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba for the Half Marathon and associated 10km and 4.2km kids race. The event is attracting an everincreasing number of foreign touristrunners keen to experience the many nearby attractions that include the ancient city of Petra, the tranquil wind-carved beauty of Wadi Rum with its connections to Lawrence of Arabia, Red Sea diving and more within the highly stable and secure borders of Jordan.

On this tough course, in hot and humid conditions, 62-year old twotime Olympic marathon runner Calvin Dallas showed how it’s done. Early on three runners were stridefor-stride over one of the most scenic and historic pieces of geography one will find anywhere. After reaching to the easternmost point of the course with St. Thomas, St. John and British Virgin Islands as a backdrop to the north, Dallas and Ben Appleyard still together, but Dallas then forged ahead to defend his title. Bridget Klein also successfully defended in the women’s race, finishing fourth overall. Last year a few from the “50 States Club” ran the race; this year it was representatives of “Marathon Globetrotters”: 62 year old Robert Bishton and 65-year old Rich Holmes did private battle, with Bishton prevailing. The 40th Virgin Islands HalfMarathon attracted the fastest road runners in the Virgin Islands, with Juan Robles successfully defending his title. and Ruth Ann David running second-placed Shane Degannis close in winning the women’s race.
