10K run offers Bimantara car

JAKARTA (JP): Two Bimantara Cakra cars are up for grabs in the men's and women's Caltex 10-kilometer run today.

National men's record holder Eduardus Nabunome and his female counterpart Suryati Marija will join 4,000 runners vying for the top prizes -- worth Rp 38 million each -- in the race which is being held in conjunction with the oil company's 60th anniversary.

Defending champion Eduardus, whose four-year-old mark of 29:25.00 remains unbeaten, is expected to retain his title. While Suryati, who holds the women's record of 35:02.00, will face stiff competition from teenage SEA Games marathon champion Ruwiyati.

After the flag-off at Senayan Madya Stadium, the runners will route Jl. Hang Tuah, Jl. Sisingamangaraja, Jl. Sudirman, Semanggi Bridge, Jl. Gerbang Pemuda and will finish at Jl. Asia Afrika. (yan)
