(Mainichi/Rei Kubo) TOKYO Even though Kengo Suzuki won the 76th Lake Biwa Mainichi Marathon on Feb. 28 in a Japan record of 2 hours, 4 minutes and 56 seconds, he will not be receiving the 100-million-yen (about $938,000) reward that previous record breakers were given due to a lack of funds at Japanese athletics organizations. Suzuki broke the previous record of 2:05:29 set by Suguru Osako. The latter runner marked a Japan record in the Chicago Marathon in October 2018 and again in the Tokyo Marathon in March 2020, and was given 100 million yen each time by the Japan Association of Athletics Federations (JAAF) and other organizations.
