Osaka Half Marathon Elite Field

Along with yesterday's announcement of the Jan. 29 Osaka International Women's Marathon elite field, organizers have also announced the fields for the simultaneous Osaka Half Marathon. With athletes from 9 countries it's the most international field in the event's history, a welcome sign as other races like the Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon a week later continue to restrict entries to residents of Japan.
