With less than two months to go, the 2013 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon looks set for a record turnout with registrations higher than ever in the event’s 14 year history.

The Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon – the world’s richest long distance running event – has been awarded Gold Label status from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) for the second consecutive year.

Ayele Abshero and his Ethiopian colleagues turned the marathon tide substantially today (Jan 27) in a sizzling Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon which rewrote the record books.
