Chemosin Clocks World-Leading 59:37 to Win Rome-Ostia Half Marathon

Published by IAAF on March 2, 2015

Robert Chemosin clocked a world-leading 59:37 to win the 41st Rome-Ostia Half Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race, on Sunday (1).

In sunny conditions, the Kenyan edged out his compatriot Simon Cheprot, who was second in 59:39, while Uganda’s Geoffrey Kusuru was third in a national record of 59:43, with another four athletes running faster than 61 minutes.

For the third consecutive year, the top three all dipped under the one-hour barrier

A leading group of nine East African runners – Peter Kwemoi, William Kibor, Eric Leon Ndiema, Cornelius Kangogo, John Kiprotich, Leonard Kipkoech, Kusuro, Cheprot and Chemosin – went through 5km in 14:03 and then 10km in 28:05.

Chemosin, Cheprot, Kusuro and Kiprotich then started to put daylight between themselves and the rest of the field before going through 15km in 42:11, with a gap of 11 seconds over Kipkoech and Ndiema.
