Who?
The men's winner appears to have a half dozen sponsors.

Shouldn't it be either 61:39 and 70:52 or 1:01:39 and 1:10:52? There should be consistency between the sexes.
Yes, dozens of (little) sponsors because both winners belong to Run2gether, a unique example of "fair-trade" team providing occasion of competition abroad for upcoming Kenyan athletes while managing a centre for foreign (running) tourists in Naivasha(near Mt. Longonot national park, 2400m)while devoting a % of the earnings to social activities of the area (a free nursery school, a support project for orphans). Born in 2009 by an idea of Thomas Krejci (Austrian orienteering champion) and Geoffrey Gikuni (2:08'33" Dublin marathon champion), Run2gether had as a first coach Peter Matu Titi (former National Team coach, as well as collaborator of Renato Canova). Now the team is coached by former IAAF-center Joseph Ngure. More info on Facebook (run2gether) and www.run2gether.com (obviously if you have sponsors to suggest: info@run2gether.com ;-). Thank you to all and have a wonderful running week!
Main technical sponsor is ON, a young swiss shoes company whose founder was interviewed by Letsrun here: http://www.letsrun.com/news/2013/01/on-running-shoes-1231/
Did Thomas Lokomwa win in a pair of ON racing shoes? That'd be a pretty big deal.
Yes, both Lokomwa and Murigi won with ON racing shoes. Don't you like them?
Never tried them. I don't know where in my area that has them to try out.
Here you can order ON shoes online: https://www.on-running.com/en-it/products/cloudracer. Nice run and please keep following Run2gether on Facebook :-)
Just want to celebrate Daniel Kinyua Wanjiru, the first Run2gether's athlete running today under 60'!!! He ran 59'59" for 3rd place in Prague (and he is just 22, 2 years ago running 62'30"!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv5-QK2eIoY&feature=youtu.be
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
