Spain, 24th March – Netsanet Gudeta Kebede of Ethiopia broke the women’s-only race world record* in the half marathon today, clocking 1:06:11 at the IAAF\/Trinidad Alfonso World Half Marathon Championships Valencia 2018.<\/p>\n

Netsanet Gudeta sets women’s-only\u00a0half marathon world record<\/h3>\n

Gudeta’s performance shattered the previous record of 1:06:25 for a single-sex race set by Lornah Kiplagat at the 2007 IAAF World Road Running Championships in Udine, Italy.<\/p>\n

Running with a four-woman lead group at 10 kilometres, Gudeta, 27, broke clear as she approached the 15-kilometre point, having pieced together a four-second lead. Never threatened, she forged on alone, padding her lead with every kilometre. By 20 kilometres she was 40 seconds ahead of the nearest challenger, Kenyan Pauline Kamulu.<\/p>\n

Joyciline Jepkosgei of Kenya, the pre-race favourite, passed her teammate in the final two kilometres to finish second in 1:06:54, 43 seconds behind Gudeta.<\/p>\n

Geoffrey Kamworor of Kenya<\/a> won the men’s race in equally dominating fashion clocking 1:00:02 to win his third successive title. Kamworor broke away from a large pack just after 15 kilometres and was never challenged. Abraham Cheroben of Bahrain was second in 1:00:22 and Aron Kifle of Eritrea taking the bronze in 1:00:31.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
