Note: Yuki Kawauchi (Saitama Pref. Gov't) is running the San Silvestre Vallecana with support from JRN.  Pre-race he told JRN, "I'm really looking forward to running a big race like this that the best college and corporate league runners couldn't run even if they wanted to.  I'm excited to run under 29 minutes for the first time and if I do there won't be any reason to ever run 10000 m on the track again."
