2009 double 1500 m and 5000 m national champion Yuichiro Ueno (Team S&B) easily won the Feb. 10 Karatsu 10-Mile Road Race in Karatsu, Saga, beating Kenyan sub-60 half marathoner Mekubo Mogusu (Team Nissin Shokuhin) while looking relaxed and fresh. Indifferently evaluating his winning time of 46:56, Ueno said, "I just ran at the pace I had planned." A member of the historic S&B corporate team set to disband at the end of March, Ueno will run his final race in the S&B uniform at the Mar. 17 National Corporate Half Marathon Championships in Yamaguchi. He called his performance in Karatsu "just a training run" for the half, looking confident as he said, "I'm in the middle of doing really hard training, so the time I ran today says I should do great in the half too."

Keiko Nogami (Team Juhachi Ginko) won the women's 10 km in a strong 32:54.  The top woman from within the prefecture was Hiroko Yoshitomi (First Dream AC), 3rd in 33:08.  Despite running 19 seconds faster than last year, local Yuki Mitsunobu (Team Kyocera) was only 4th in 33:10.

In the high school boys' 10 km, Shuhei Kondo (Oita Tomei H.S.) took a second-straight win in 29:52, with Keisuke Kawano (Torisu Kogyo H.S.) 3 seconds back in 2nd.  Wakana Itsuki (Fukuoka Prep Wakaba H.S.) won the high school girls' 5 km in 16:59.
