Geoffrey Kamworor smashes the world record at Copenhagen Half Marathon

With a stunning solo run at Sunday´s Copenhagen Half Marathon, Geoffrey Kamworor, set a new world record clocking 58:01 minutes. By doing so, the 26-year-old Kenyan bettered the previous record set by his compatriot Abraham Kiptum in Valencia last year with 17 seconds.

"It is very emotional for me to set this record. And doing it in Copenhagen, where I won my first world title, adds something to it," the three-time World Half Marathon Champion said after the race, which he – despite a line-up of world class runners - won with a surprisingly large margin of 75 seconds ahead of another Kenyan, Benard Kipkorir Ngeno.

Having won the Kenyan trials at 10000 meters just a few weeks ago, Kamworor was indeed a clear favorite ahead of the race. However, with windy conditions in Copenhagen Sunday morning not many had expected a world record. Pacemaker Shadrack Koech led a large group through the first 5K in 13:53 min., but when he dropped out at 10K, a leading pack of five runners were now ahead of world record pace splitting in 27:34 minutes. From now on it was all about Geoffrey Kamworor, who at 15K suddenly was 25 seconds ahead of the rest.

"It really wasn´t my plan to pull away after 10K, but it was the right time to do it. And the wind turned out not to be a problem," Kamworor said after the world record, which was the first one to be set on Danish soil since 1972.

The first six finishers dipped under the one hour. Sondre Nordstad Moen had as well hoped to do it, but would have to settle with 60:20. Taking a 9thplace the Norwegian became the first European male runner to finish in the top-10 in the history of the race.

Ethiopian victory in the women´s race
The women´s race saw another clear victory with Birhane Dibaba Adugna – winner of the Tokyo Marathon 2018 - crossing the finish line in 65:57 minutes, a massive improvement of the Ethiopian´s personal best. Three Kenyans followed her pace for the first 15K, but at finish the best of these, Evaline Chrichir, was 25 seconds behind with Dorcas Jepchirchir Tuitoek coming in third in 66:36.

CPH Half 2019 was only the fifth edition of the race. With 25.000 participants the race was sold out for the first time, and with today´s world record - and not to forget last year´s European record by Sifan Hassan, the race has established itself as one of the biggest and most importants half marathons in the world.

Ran the Half Marathon. Plus points: It's a great city to spend a relaxing weekend.

The route is quite nice along the river and through the tunnel.

Drinks stations were plentiful and well ordered. Well signed route with markers every KM.



La Ronde Ceretane

Sunday September 14th, 2025
Roussillon, France
Distance: 20K
Offical Race Web Site

If you’re going all the way to Catalonia to race, you might as well make the most of it. This one could be just the ticket for a late summer holiday, as the race falls amid a week-long festival celebrating all that is Catalan – music, a night market and a lace festival – with bull fighting also scheduled for those inclined.

The race itself provides ‘special’ feeding stations, with regional specialties, including wine and Muscat, while you visit the old town and its surroundings, which lies between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean.

An Italian evening and cabaret on the evening prior to the race, and a Catalan meal afterwards, means that you shouldn’t go hungry or thirsty, however long you decide to stay. Finally, if you prefer your culture a little more refined, the town of Céret is renowned for its association with modern art – every runner will get a free entry to the local Musée d’Art Moderne.

Philadelphia Distance Run Half Marathon

Sunday September 21st, 2025
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Distance: Half Marathon · 5K
Offical Race Web Site

The Philadelphia Distance Run originated in 1978 under the auspices of the Philadelphia Family of YMCA's to actualize the vision of Gene Martenson who wished to showcase the beauty of Philadelphia through a first class foot race that Philadelphia area runners could be proud of. The succeeding Race Director, Bill Jackson, augmented that vision by adding world class competitors to the field. In year one U of Penn star Julio Piazzo (1:07.35) and Nora Johnson (1:24.34.) won the race which at the time boasted the largest field of any first race in the country with 3400 competitors. The next year, multi -Olympic Gold medal winner Lasse Viren (1:04.48) and Lena Hollmann (1:20.06) won the event. The race continued to grow in size and prestige. World records were set in the race by Rod Dixon in 1981 (1:02.12), by Michael Musyoki in 1982 (1:01. 35), by Joan Benoit Samuelson in 1983 (1:09.14) and 1984 (1:08.34), by Mark Curp in 1985 (1:00.55), by Dionicio Ceron in 1990 (1:00.46), and by Matthew Kisorio (58:46) in 2011.

In 1988, the YMCA decided it could no longer support the race as it evolved and a Board of Directors comprised of former race directors and key volunteers formed a non-profit corporation and negotiated with the YMCA to acquire the rights to the Philadelphia Distance Run. Despite the initial absence of a named sponsor, the 1988 race took place without compromising its world class and community nature as former marathon world record holder, Steve Jones, won the race in 1:02:07 as a precursor to his 1988 New York City Marathon victory. He was joined in the winners' circle by former Virginia and Boston University star Leslie Welch Lehane (1:10.47)

In the late 2000s, Rock N Roll acquired the Philadelphia Distance Run and continued to elevate the race, at one point attracting nearly 20,000 runners to Philadelphia and maintaining a course known around the world for its fast speeds.

In the fall of 2020, a local group consisting of Students Run Philly Style, Philly Run Fest, and Runhouse, re-launched the race under its original name, the Philadelphia Distance Run, and have begun to write the next chapter in the event’s illustrious history.
