New Half marathon world record holder

Quote:
Kenya's Peres Jepchirchir is the new world half marathon record holder.

Jepchichir achieved the feat when she won the Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) Half Marathon on Friday, clocking 1 hour, 05 minutes and 06 seconds to shatter compatriot's Florence Kiplagat's record by three seconds.

Kiplagat broke her own world half marathon record in Barcelona with a time of 1:05:09 in 2015.

Efforts by the Kenyan men to break the world half marathon record of 58:23 proved futile when World Half Marathon silver medallist Bedan Karoki claimed men’s victory with personal best time of 59:09.

Peres Jepchirchir has held record for only one month. It has been broken by another Kenyan Joyciline Jepkosgei.

The 9 fastest times in history are now held by Kenyans
