Kosgei runs fastest-ever women’s half marathon
Print Edition
Kenya’s Brigid Kosgei ran the fastest half-marathon ever by a woman yesterday, winning the Great North Run in a time of one hour, four minutes and 28 seconds.
Her time was 23 seconds quicker than the previous best of 1:04.51 by fellow Kenyan Joyciline Jepkosgei, set in 2017 but the course is not eligible for records. Mo Farah won the men’s elite race for a record sixth successive year as he warms up to defend his Chicago Marathon title next month. Four-time Olympic champion Farah, 36, was pushed hard by Tamirat Tola, but proved too strong for the Ethiopian, to finish, the almost 22 kilometers course, in 59min 7sec. Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands was third.
