SPECIAL NOTE: Legendary middle distance coach Frank “Gags” Gagliano died yesterday at the age of 89. He was a towering figure in the sport in the United States, coaching for over 60 years from high school, to college and finally the pro ranks. I was lucky enough to know him and many of the athletes he coached like Nick Symmonds, Kyle Merber, Nicole Teter, Mike Rutt, Julie Culley, Travis Mahoney, Jesse Garn, Ce’Aira Brown, Heather Wilson, and so many others. May he rest in peace –Ed.

(World Athletics Gold Label Road Race/”Super Halfs” Half-Marathon Series)
Valencia, ESP; Sunday, October 25
Distance: 21.1 km (WA/AIMS certified and record-eligible); loop course with no start/finish separation.
Finishers: 16,592 men + 8889 women = 25,481 total (down from 26,021 in 2025); there were additional finishers who were “out of time,” meaning they did not finish within the race’s time limit 3:00:00
Prize Money: Indicated in euros; graduated according to the level of the performances.
Course Records: Men, 57:30, Yomif Kejelcha (ETH), 2024 (also world record); Women, 1:02:52, Letesenbet Gidey (ETH), 2021
Weather: 15 to 17C
NOTE: Women’s winner, Sheila Chepkirui, is NOT the winner of the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon and twice the winner of the Nagoya Women’s Marathon. She’s an Asics-sponsored athlete (not adidas). She ran a personal best and world-leading 63:51 to win by one second over Diana Wanza. American Emily Venters ran a PB of 67:37, while Spaniard Laura Luengo set a new national record and won a EUR 6000 bonus. On the men’s side Rodrigue Kwizera was the big winner. Born in Burundi, he obtained Spanish citizenship last year but is not yet able to represent Spain in international competition. Nonetheless, the Spanish federation recognizes national records based on citizenship, only, so his winning time of 58:03 is a pending Spanish record. He earned EUR 42,000 in prize money and bonuses –Ed.
NOTE II: We checked PB’s down to 30th place, but surely there are many more –Ed.
