Kara Goucher beat Paula Radcliffe in the BUPA Great North Run this morning in Newcastle, England. The Duluth native clocked the fastest half marathon in the world this year with her race-winning 1:06:57.
Radcliffe was second in 1:07:53.
The IAAF's coverage of the race is HERE, including a great photo of Goucher pulling away from the world marathon record-holder.
Goucher's mark is the fastest ever for an American woman, although the Great North Run's downhill lay-out will disqualfy it for record purposes.
Deena Kastor holds the US half marathon record at 1:07:34.
