Iaaf world cross country championships

World Athletics Gold Label Road: The Delhi Half Marathon, World Athletics Gold Label Road Race, with prize money of USD 2,60,000, will be flagged off from Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 20. Top athletes from around the globe will join India’s finest and amateur runners will vie for glory in the #AaRangDeDilli spirit. Ugandan sensation Joshua Cheptegei and Kenya’s former Half-Marathon World record-holder Peres Jepchirchir are all set to light up the streets of Delhi.

Joshua is the current world record holder for both the 5000-meter and 10,000-meter and holds the world's best time over the 15-kilometer distance. He is the reigning Olympic champion in the 10,000 meters and won the gold with a new Olympic record of 26:43.14.

Joshua is also a three-time World champion in the 10,000 meters and claimed gold in both the 5000 meters and 10,000 meters at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the 2019 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. Notably, Cheptegei is only the tenth man in history to simultaneously hold the 5000-meter and 10,000-meter world records, both of which he set in 2020.
