World Record Holder and Olympic Medalists at the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon PRESS RELEASE 22 March 2017 World Record Holder and Olympic Medalists at the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon RunCzech Organisation has announced a World-Class field including a World Record Holder; Leonard Patrick Komon, and two Rio Olympic Medalists; Galen Rupp and Tamirat Tola who will compete on April 1st in the 2017 edition of the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon. Although the reigning women’s half marathon World Record Holder, Peres Jepchirchir was forced to withdraw from the race due to a bout with a serious virus the women’s field remains very strong. It will be led by the Prague event record holder Violah Jepchumba (1:05:51) who ran the fastest half marathon in the world in 2016, and RunCzech Racing’s rising young star, Joyciline Jepkosgei (1:06:08 in RAK this year). The race will also include another young star with a PR under 1:07, Kenyan Gladys Chesir. Of interest also are the two American challengers Jordan Hasay who debuted in Houston this year with 1:08:40 and Maegan Krifchin (1:09:51) along with the fastest Czech woman, Eva Vrabcova (1:11:06) looking for a substantial improvement. The men’s field is blessed with a World Record Holder, Komon who claims road records at 10K and 15K which he set in 2010. He will be trying to improve on his third place finish in Prague from 2015. The biggest threat may come from another Kenyan, Barselius Kipyego who ran 59:15 in the Mattoni Usti nad Labem Half Marathon last September setting a course record on what had not previously been considered a fast course. But they both will face strong contenders in the Rio and London OG medalists, Galen Rupp of the U.S. and Tamirat Tola from Ethiopia. Tola took a Bronze medal in the 10,000 metres in Rio and he looks to be in top condition this year after his win in the Dubai Marathon in January. His winning time of 2:04:11 made him the ninth fastest performer of all-time. The Rio Olympic Marathon Bronze and London 10,000 OG Silver medalist Rupp, who is pointing for a fast performance at the Boston Marathon this year, is always competitive and could challenge the ten year old U.S. record of 59:43. The Czech men will feature Jiri Homolac who is currently training in Iten, Kenya in the hope of breaking 1:03 for the first time.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.
