Kipsang and Ronoh to Renew Their Rivalry at Olomouc Half Marathon

Published by IAAF on May 18, 2015

The sixth edition of the Mattoni Olomouc Half Marathon on Saturday June 20 will feature the latest episode in the ongoing duel between training partners Wilson Kipsang and Geoffrey Ronoh, after organisers of the IAAF Gold Label Road Race announced several of their leading runners on Monday (18).

A year ago, Kipsang was the world record holder in the marathon and Ronoh a little known member of Kipsang’s training group in Kenya but that impression changed dramatically in the course of just over one hour as Ronoh beat Kipsang by eight seconds to win the 2014 Olomouc title in 1:00:17.

It was Ronoh’s debut at the distance and only his second major race outside of Kenya.
