Organisers are targeting the first-sub-2:20 run in the women's race at the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon, and IAAF Gold Label race, on 28 October. She was fifth in Frankfurt in 2010 clocking 2:25:27. Tesfay and Dida were soon in action again and distinguished themselves at the Rome Ostia Half Marathon two months later. They dominated the Italian race, Tesfay winning in 1:09:02 with Dida the runner-up 19 seconds behind. Leading that charge is Nancy Kiprop, twice the winner of the Vienna City Marathon title.
