Andrea Almgren of Sweden ran a new European record in the half marathon for the win. He clocked 58:06. With that victory, he defeated Nicholas Kipkorir of Kenya (58:11) and Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda (5:26).
This was no mean feat, as Cheptegei holds the world 5000m (12:35.36) and 10,000m (26:11) records. Sure, it has been six years, but this half marathon was his personal best. The 30-year-old is a two-time Olympic champion and three-time world champion.
Kipkorir is no slouch either, having finished fourth in the Olympic Games and three times top-10 in the World Championships. He has a 58:08 PB to his credit as well as 12:46.33 and 26:50.94, respectively in the 5000m and 10,000m events.
Almgren has proven to be fast too. Make no mistake. The 31-year-old holds eight national records, two of which are European records. It could be argued that his best performance has been in the 5000m event, where he has clocked 12:44.37. He is a world champion, bronze medallist in the Olympics, and now World Road Racing Championship gold medallist.
The first Danish athlete was Jacob Sommer Simonsen, who clocked a 16th-place finish time of 1:00.46, which is a new national record.
Conner Mantz came back from injury well with a 12th-place finish in 1:00:08. The top Canadian was Rory Linkletter, finishing 21st in 1:01:09.
Women’s half marathon
Agnes Ngetich was not fooling around out there. The 25-year-old Kenyan ran a scintillating 1:05:15 for a road, women’s-only record. She can add that to her road 10km record of 28:46 and a national record in the half marathon in a mixed men’s and women’s race of 1:03:04.
She is also a World Cross Country Champion and a 4th- and 6th-place finisher in the World Championships.
She bettered fellow Kenyan Veronica Loleo, who finished nearly a minute back at 1:06:05. Taking third was Rwandan Florence Niyonkuru, three seconds back for a new national record. The 25-year-old has run seven new personal bests in the past 1.5 years, including a national record of 31:43.73 in the 10,000m.
Carolien Millenaar was the first Danish runner across the line in 69th position, clocking 1:13:47.
Eleven national records were broken in the women’s half marathon, including one by Canadian 23-year-old Jadyn Keeler, who ran 1:08:03 for 16th place. She bettered the former national record by nearly a minute, which was held by Andrea Seccafien at 1:09:38 from Marugame, Japan, in 2020.
The former 3000m and 3000m steeplechaser appears that she may have found her niche.
