This is lining up to be a great race! Wanjiru with his aggressive front running style against former Yamanashi Gakuin University runner, Mogusu, who is three-time champion of Sapporo Half and current course record holder with a time of 59:54. I’ve seen Mogusu run this race before, and he won’t hesitate to challenge Wanjiru. Both of these runners have similar aggressive running styles. Samuel Wanjiru came to Japan as a student to train with the Japanese. He has since lowered the Half Marathon World Record to an astonishing 58:33.
