Rashpal Singh wins as three course records shattered

Rashpal Singh of Army Sports Institute (ASI), Pune won the men's full marathon title, shattering Olympian Kheta Ram's record, in the Vasai Virar Mayor's Marathon in Virar yesterday.


Rashpal clocked 2:22.04 to eclipse 28 seconds from Kehta's course record of 2:22.32, set in 2015.


Rashpal's feat was emulated by the winners of the men's and women's half marathon, who came home in record time to make it a grand hat-trick. It was sweet revenge for Sanjivani Jadhav, who came home in 1:18.02 seconds, breaking Swathi Gadhave's record of 1:18.35 seconds.


Monika Athare, who had beaten Sanjivani in the Delhi half Marathon, had to settle for third place.
