No comments
Julius Kogo of Kenya won the Crim 10-mile race in Flint, Mich., for the fifth straight year. Kogo’s unofficial time was 46:35. The win earned Kogo $5,000. Aliphine Tuliamuk-Bolton of Kenya, who won last year, was the first woman to finish. Her unofficial time was 54:26. Family members and supporters of a former Marine convicted of criminal charges in Iran ran in the Flint races to honor him and publicize his plight. Amir Hekmati was arrested in August 2011 and sentenced to death for spying. Iran’s Supreme Court annulled the sentence. He later was convicted of “cooperating with hostile governments” and sentenced to 10 years.
