Joshua Cheptegai thinks Valencia World Half Marathon

NIJMEGEN (NED): After missing the world 15km record by just four seconds in the Seven Hills Run in Nijmegen, Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei is aiming to compete at the World Half Marathon Championships in Valencia next March but he doesn’t plan to move up to the marathon until after the 2024 Olympics, informs Losse Veter. “For the meantime, I intend to do the half marathon next year because there is no big championships, I just try to do it for my endurance and then I come back to the track next year. After 2024, then I’ll go to the marathon. That’s my plan for now. Until the Paris Olympics, no marathon,” he said.
