By finishing second (27:32) Swiss sensation, Julien Wanders broke both the Swiss national 10km record and the European 10km record (set in 2010 by Mo Farah), making him the fastest European of all time over 10km (at that time). Stella Chesang (31:14) smashed the women’s course record, the Ugandan national 10km record, and came within one second of the SA all-comers record, ” he added
