Korir and Kiptoo Lead Geneva Marathon Elite Field


JRN is back in Switzerland this weekend to cover Sunday's Harmony Geneva Marathon.  An IAAF bronze label race, Geneva features quality men's and women's fields led by 2:07:29 man Ronald Korir (Kenya) and defending women's champion Jane Kiptoo (Kenya).  With good weather in the forecast the course records of 2:11:00 and 2:32:34 should be on for updating.  Look for coverage throughout race weekend.
