Great North Revenge Mission for Record-Breaker Keitany

Published by IAAF on July 21, 2015

Mary Keitany will be on a revenge mission at the Morrisons Great North Run when she returns to the scene of her record-breaking triumph at the IAAF Gold Label Road Race on 13 September.

Last year the 33-year-old Kenyan was unstoppable on Tyneside, breaking Paula Radcliffe’s course record by a second with a winning time of 1:05:39.

Twelve months on, Keitany will be up against the Ethiopian runner who stopped her from completing a hat-trick of victories at this year’s London Marathon.

Keitany, the 2009 world half-marathon champion, lined up in the British capital in April hoping to repeat her triumphs of 2011 and 2012, but ultimately she had to settle for second place, 18 seconds behind Tigist Tufa, who prevailed in 2:23:22.
