Overseas results – Ugandan finishes at stunning pace to equal Joshua Cheptegei’s world mark
NN Zevenheuvelenloop, Nijmegen, Netherlands, November 19
Olympic and world 10,000m medallist Jacob Kiplimo equalled the 15km road race world best mark of fellow Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei by winning in 41:05.
There was no signs of any records as Kiplimo ambled through 5km in a pedestrian 14:24 though that did contain a testing hill around the 4km mark. However the next 5km was blitzed in 13:25 and he was through 10km in 27:49.
The real damage though was done in the last 3km which he covered in an astonishing 7:41 as he completed the final 5km in 13:16 which gave him an incredible closing 10km of 26:41. His last kilometre was 2:31.
Although 41:05 is the fastest ever performance in a standalone 15km race, it should be noted that Kiplimo recorded a 15km split of 40:27 en-route to his half marathon world record in Lisbon in 2021.
Rogers Kibet, also from Uganda, was second (42:44) ahead of Kenya’s Amos Serem (43:07) and home athletes Filmon Tesfu (44:00) and Mike Foppen (44.01).
Kenya’s steeplechase world record-holder Beatrice Chepkoech won the women’s race in 47:12 ahead of Israel’s Lonah Chemtai Salpeter (47:55).
Chepkoech’s 5km splits were 15:35, 15:45 and 15:52.
Stella Chesang of Uganda (48:02), Australia’s Isobel Batt-Doyle (48:22) and Briton Charlotte Purdue (49:09) completed the top five positions.

Sofi Malt Great Ethiopian Run International 10km, November 19
Biniyam Mehari was the surprise men’s winner taking the elite race by 24 seconds and coming close to beating Deriba Merga’s 17-year-old course record with a finishing time of 28:19.
After the race Mehari, who is coached by Hiluf Hihdego, husband to world 5000m record-holder Gudaf Tsegay, also thanked his uncle, the 2002 winner Gebreegziabiher Gebremariam for his advice.
Last year’s race winner Abe Gashahun did much of the front running in the opening half of the race before Mehari made his move in the final 3km, overtaking Mezgebu Sime who had put in a strong surge on the tough hill past the Presidential Palace. Mehari had opened up a lead of 40 metres by 8km, but extended this to around 150 metres by the finish.
Zenebe Ayele finished second in 28:43 with Jirata Lelisa third in 28:57.
The women’s race was won by pre-race favourite Melkinat Wudu after the late withdrawal of Medina Issa. Issa and Wudu are friends and training partners under their coach Teddy Hailu, husband to multi-global track champion Meseret Defar.
It required a fierce final sprint for Wudu to see off the challenge of London Marathon runner-up Megertu Alemu as they finished in 32:28 and 32:29 respectively.
In third place was Tekien Amara.
Both winners picked up prizes of 200,000 birr ($3,575) for their victories, a record winner’s prize for any race in Ethiopia.
