In 2010, the 2nd runner up has started to send to Miss International.
Many runners have started their kick too soon, only to stagger home.
However, once a runner starts they must continue in the same direction.
In total, 27161 runners started the marathon race and of these 26175 finished the full distance.
The runners start on a long airstrip and run over three hills.
The first runner starts out of blocks, carrying the baton in his/her right hand.
If the runner starts to lead off again right away, he could be tagged out.
Just over 300 runners have started the race each year since 2008.
The runner started to accept that, then turned and stared.
To lend excitement to the final event, the runners start in the order of their standing through the first four rounds.
