Joshua Cheptegei Breaks Road 10k World Record In Valencia

A spectacular 2019 for Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei got even better on Sunday as the 23-year-old set the road 10k world record with his 26:38 in Valencia, Spain.

Cheptegei, who won the World Cross Country title in March before taking 10,000m gold at the World Championships in October, bettered the 26:44 previous record held by Leonard Komon since 2010. Cheptegei also eclipsed fellow Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo’s 26:41 from 2018, a time that didn’t count for record purposes due to a downhill course.

Cheptegei’s splits, per World Athletics:
