In the men’s race at the
Prague Half Marathon today, Benard Kimeli broke from a three-man pack in the final kilometre to claim an emphatic victory in 59:47.
“I won the 10-kilometre Birell Prague Grand Prix last year, and now can add the half marathon to that,†said Kimeli, who dipped under the one-hour barrier in just his second race over the distance.
He finished eighth in Ras Al Khaimah in February, clocking 1:00:16. He clocked 27:10 in that Prague 10km last year, the fastest performance in the world in 2017.
“Prague really suits me and I race well here. The conditions went in our favor today and I’m really pleased that I managed to win.â€
Geoffrey Yegon was second in 59:56 with Peter Kwemoi third in 59:58 to round out the Kenyan podium sweep. Spots four through nine also were claimed by Kenyan runners.
