The LA Marathon organizers introduced the “women challenge format” where the elite women runners were released 20 minutes ahead of the elite men runners and the rest of the runners/particpants. Tatiana Aryasova won a “bonus” prize of $ 100,000 for winning the said race format as nobody from the elite men runners had overtaken her up to the finish line. Tatiana Aryasova from Russia also received $ 20,000 and a brand-new Honda Car as her prize as the Lady Champion.
It should be noted that out of the 19 (there is no # 10 on the list) top female runners, 7 are within the age category of 20-29 years old; 6 are within the 30-39 years old category; and 6 are within the 40-49 years old.
