Kenya’s Philemon Kiplimo and Ethiopia’s Gotytom Gebreslase claimed victory at the Bahrain Royal International Night Half Marathon – a World Athletics Label road race – when the event returned for its second edition on Sunday.
After running 2:20:09 to triumph when making her marathon debut in Berlin in September, Gebreslase achieved another impressive result as she improved her half marathon personal best to 1:05:36 in Manama to win by 11 seconds ahead of home favourite Kalkidan Gezahegne – the Olympic 10,000m silver medallist who was making her half marathon debut after breaking the world 10km record with 29:38 in Geneva in October.
