Half Marathon World Record Holder is Racing Sunday

World half-marathon record-holder Zersenay Tadese will run his first half marathon in almost two years at the 72nd Kagawa Marugame International Half Marathon on Sunday Feb 4. Tadese, a five-time world half marathon champion, set the world record of 58:23 back in 2010. While his last sub-60-minute half marathon was back in 2015, the Eritrean’s recent performances suggest he will still be competitive on Sunday. The 35-year-old clocked 1:00:31 in his last half marathon, in Istanbul in April 2016. (02/02/2018) Views: 1,853 ⚡AMP
