2009 World Championships Women's Marathon - Previous Head-To-Head Performances
by MarathonGuide.com Staff
There are few international female marathoners in the world and there are fewer top women able to compete in such a high-caliber field at the 2009 World Championships Women's Marathon. Here is our best list displaying past marathon match-ups and their finishes at these previous races. This list highlights some of the most competitive runners around the globe, many who have never raced in such a deep international field. While this list is no guarantee of what will unfold, it may be an indicator of their talents as many prepare themselves for their first World Championship event. The Women's Marathon is scheduled for Sunday, August 23rd.
