Ramu stars for India

New Delhi: K.C. Ramu's brilliant run helped India clinch the South Asia title at the Greatest Race on Earth for the third year in a row.

Ramu finished 15th in a time of two hours, 25 minutes and 11 seconds in the final leg in Hong Kong as India finished sixth among 30 nations in the Nation Challenge category this year. The Greatest Race on Earth consists of four marathons run in different countries and their combined timings are considered for deciding the final places.

India was trailing Sri Lanka by more than three minutes after the third race in Mumbai, but turned the tables in Hong Kong, a release said.

In the cumulative timing, India finished the series with a 14-second lead over Sri Lanka to become South Asia champion for the third straight time. India had got off to a good start in the campaign through Bining Lynkoi in the first leg at Nairobi, followed by Ajit Singh in Singapore. — PTI
