How can I find results of the 2011 Kaohsiung Mizuno Marathon? I have tried many varied searches and only get a news article.
According to officials there is a technical problem with this years results, but the will be published when the issue is resolved. You should then be able to look at the results on this website http://www.twsport.org.tw/marathon/new-english.asp, “query results”. At the moment they only appear to have 2010 results. Hope this helps.
