Early stages in the men’s race – Kavarna 2012
I was in Kavarna, Bulgaria to cover yesterday’s World Half Marathon Championships – below is a gallery of 27 shots of some of the world’s finest distance runners.
Zersenay Tadese of Eritrea dominated the men’s race, clocking 1:01:19 to win by 32 seconds and to take the title for the fifth time. The women’s race was won by Ethiopian Meseret Hailu in 1:08:55. Complete results are here.
