Two times New York City Marathon champion Geoffrey Kamworor’s world half-marathon record has been ratified.
Kenyan Geoffrey Kamworor’s World Half Marathon record of 58 minutes and 01 seconds has been ratified.
In a sensational run, Kamworor chopped 22 seconds from the previous record at the Copenhagen Half Marathon on September 15, coming tantalisingly close to breaking the event’s 58-minute barrier.
The eight-year previous record of 58:23 was held by Zersenay Tadese from Eritrea, a time he set on March 21, 2010 in Lisbon, Portugal
It was an apt setting for the 26-year-old Kenyan who won the first of his three successive world half marathon titles in the streets of the Danish capital in 2014.
