Yalemzerf Yehualaw runs 29:19 for 10km in Valencia while Emily Sisson and Jess Warner-Judd are among those to excel in the Houston Half

Chevron/Aramco Houston Marathon and Half-Marathon, January 15

There were top quality half-marathon wins for Ethiopians Hiwot Gebremaryam and Leul Gebrselassie with the latter defeating Wesley Kiptoo by a second.

Gebremaryam led past 5km in 15:14 and 10km in 30:52 and though the second 10km took a much slower 32:06, she held on for a 66:28 victory.

Emily Sisson ran strongly over the second half and finished 28 seconds back in setting a US record 66:52 and third went to a superb run for Jess Warner-Judd and her 67:19 moved her to fourth all-time among British athletes behind Paula Radcliffe (65:40), Eilish McColgan (66:26) and Liz McColgan (67:11).

Warner-Judd is of course a sub-two 800m performer.

Earlier in the day, Sam Harrison had replaced Warner-Judd in fourth spot for the UK all-time lists at 10km in Valencia.

Warner-Judd went through 5km in 15:31 and 10km in 31:17 (ahead of Sisson) and though losing a little pace through 15km (47:23) and 20km (63:44 – 32:27 second 10km).

The marathons saw wins for Dominic Ondoro (2:10:36) and Hitomi Niiya (2:19:24), the latter missed the Japanese record by 12 seconds and won by over six minutes.
