Cheptegei wants fast race

NIJMEGEN (NED): Uganda’s Joshua Cheptegei headlines the elite field for the Zevenheuvelenloop (Seven Hills Run) where he is aiming to attack the world 15km record of 41:13. The world record stands to Kenya’s Leonard Komon who is also in the line-up. Other standout names include Brit Callum Hawkins and Ethiopians Yenew Alamirew and Mekonnen Gebremedhin. The elite women’s field is headed by world marathon champion Rose Chelimo from Bahrain. From Alberto Stretti.

RunBlogRun opines: Joshua Cheptegai battled Mo Farah in the amazing 10,000 meters in the London World Championships this past summer. Many consider it the finest 10,000 meters in many years, if not, ever. Joshua has a huge heart and great drive. He will be fun to watch over the next decade. Cheptegai is one to watch.
