Delhi Half Marathon: Kenyans Matata And Rengeruk Win Memorable Titles; Abhishek And Seema Top Among Indian Runners
World Athletics Gold Label Road: Experienced Kenyan runners Alex Nzioka Matata and Lilian Kasait Rengeruk have registered notable Kenyan wins in the 20th edition of the Delhi Half Marathon, a World Athletics Gold Label Road Race here on Sunday.
It was only the second time in the event's history that Kenyan runners won both men's and women's titles in the same edition. Francis Kibiwott and Lineth Chepkurui were the first ones to achieve such honours in 2006.
Matata, a runner-up last year behind Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei, broke away from other runners to run a solo race. Having won the RAK half-marathon earlier this year with a personal best 59:20, the Kenyan already had seven sub-60 minutes timings to his credit, including 59:53 from Delhi in 2024.
