The race was held in western France on a private estate, Domain du Bois aux Daims.
The race had two male cruisers who had an offensive approach where the first kilometer was passed on 3.01.
- It felt really easy the first three kilometers and when I looked at the clock I thought that if I could just keep up the pace I would take the record, Lahti comments for Friidrott.se.
Lahti has previously run 5 km of country road at 15.38.
The branch has had official status since last year.
