Mogusu came in second to another Japan-trained Kenyan runner who i've seen before, but don't recall the name. I was happy to be able to watch this because even though it's not broadcasted locally, i was able to download a program that allowed me to see other japanese channels. i found the link and info on the Japan Running News website. wanjiru for some reason didn’t compete.

The difficulty that I've found with both this marathon and Naha Marathon is that they tend to start out too fast, and then clobber you with hills. I'd give Okinawa Marathon's difficulty rating a 7.0.

As far as full marathons go how would you rate it for difficulty on a scale of 1-10 (1 being easy)?? I’m thinking about doing the run next year.
