The 47th Kanagawa Half Marathon took place Sunday in Yokohama on a course starting and finishing outside the Nissin Oil Group's Isogo factory. First across the finish line was the winner of December's Fukuoka International Half Marathon and Aoyama Gakuin University alumnus Yuya Yoshida (GMO), who clocked 1:02:12. Aoyama Gakuin 3rd-year Shunya Udagawa was next in a 1:02:20 PB, with Yusei Tomita of Nihon University 3rd in 1:02:20 and Yumiki Kunigo setting a Heisei Kokusai University school record 1:02:24 for 4th. Last year's Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon runner-up Yuta Shimoda, another Aoyama Gakuin graduate running for GMO, ran 1:02:43.
Fresh off a 32:08 win in last week's Katsuta Marathon 10 km, Hakuho Joshi H.S. 3rd-year Jecinta Nyokabi won the women's 10 km here too in 31:53.
Elsewhere, Jun Kojima of Ryutsu Keizai University won the Moriya Half Marathon in Ibaraki in 1:03:48. Kana Numata (Saysky) took the women's race in 1:20:06.
