In light of yesterday’s record breaking run by Yeshnil Karan with 1:07:40 ain the Half Marathon at the Munro Leys Suva Marathon , we have been inundated with questions on Facebook about where to find the national records for Fiji.
Not surprisingly Wikipedia (or let’s be honest the contributors of Wikipedia!) do a good job.
So we thought we’d list the one’s current on 7th June 2024
Stay tuned for this to change soon for the Half Marathon!
