Kenya’s 19-year-old Stephen Kiprop won the Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) half marathon on Friday in a course record-equalling 58 minutes and 42 seconds, the fastest time ever recorded by a teenager.
The race broke new ground as it was the first half marathon in history in which 11 men finished inside an hour.
It was also the first time that five women had finished within 1:06:30. A total of 3,031 runners competed in the event, of which 30 were elite runners.
