RAK adds Helen Obiri and Titus Ekiru to Feb 19 event!

The RAK Half is one of the fastest courses in the world. I covered the event in 2018 and truly enjoyed the event, which pits many of the best in Ethiopia and Kenya against each other on a very fast half marathon course.

Titus Ekiru will face half-marathon world record holder (57:31) Jacob Kiplomo of Uganda, and Abel Kipchumba, who clocked one of the fastest-times ever with 58:07 to win the Valencia HM last October.
