Berlin championships beckon for Bosele marathon runners

The race's Local Organising Committee (LOC) confirmed this during a media briefing held in Gaborone on Wednesday.

Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) sports development officer Bobby Gaseitsiwe said athletes are expected to record good times on a pitch largely regarded as flat. The IAAF certified course was measured by the federation's officials last year and passed as meeting international standards. Gaseitsiwe said the course has to be re-measured and validated each year and the BAA is waiting for an IAAF official to pass the route.
