Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon and Peres Jepchirchir are among the top entries in Sunday’s races.
The Men’s 5K will be an exciting event with a swift field, including Berihu Aregawi ; Yomif Kejelcha , and Nicholas Kipkorir at the Paris Diamond League earlier this year, and now she’s vying for first place in the mile in Riga. At 29, she hopes to follow up the 1500m and 5000m golds she earned in Budapest with yet another win.
On the men’s side, the open field features names like Reynold Cheruiyot , Teddese Lemi, and Melkeneh Azize.Kenyan runner Peres Jepchirchir will celebrate her 30th birthday this weekend by running the longest event of the weekend. If she wins, Riga will be her third half-marathon title, a feat that has only been accomplished by Tegla Loroupe, Britain’s Paula Radcliffe, and the Netherlands’ Lornah Kiplagat. Jepchumba Kimais and Margaret Chelimo Kipkemboi will also be competing.
