Callum Hawkins continued his great start to 2017 when winning the half marathon at the Kagawa Marugame International in Japan, in a new Scottish record with a time of 60:00.<\/p>\n

Callum Hawkins great start to 2017<\/h3>\n

The 24-year-old won the event, finishing ahead of Ethiopian record holder Atsedu Tsegay.<\/p>\n

His time beat the 62:28 set in the 1987 Great North Run by Allister Hutton.<\/p>\n

Hawkins’ time of 60:24 in last year’s Great Scottish Run half-marathon did not count as a Scottish record after the course was found to be too short.<\/p>\n

Organisers re-measured the Glasgow route after some competitors raised concerns about the distance and it was found to be around 150m shy.<\/p>\n

Hawkins is now second to Mo Farah on the all-time British list over the half-marathon distance, with Steve Jones third.<\/p>\n

Another Scot, Laura Muir, set a new European 3,000m indoor record<\/a> in Karlsruhe, Germany.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old’s victory set a new mark of eight minutes 26.41 seconds – fifth on the world-best list.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, compatriot Andy Butchart clocked 3:54.24 to win the Armory Invitational Mile event in New York<\/a> to go second on the Scottish all-time list and third on the British list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
