 | | Much as Mourhit had predicted in his pre-race press conference, it was very much a race of tactics rather than speed with a closely-bunched pack that only started to break up around the halfway stage. |
 | | Surprisingly absent from the frontrunners as the race progressed was one of the pre-race favourites, Kenyan John Korir, the winner of the Kenyan National Cross Championships, who never made a serious showing throughout the race. |
 | | An exultant crowd watched as Mourhit broke away from the other leaders, Kenyans Paul Kosgei, Charles Kamathi and Paul Ivuti, Portugals Paulo Guerra, Driss El Himer from France and Sergey Lebed (UKR) 27 minutes into the race, on the penultimate lap of this muddy, twisting circuit laid down in the grounds of the Wellington Hippodrome. |
