Thousands of athletes from across the globe are preparing to participate in the forthcoming Bogota International Half Marathon an annual road running competition over the half marathon distance 21.0975Km which takes place in Bogota Colombia in late July or Early August.
Benson Kipruto from Kenya is also expected to compete in the Bogota marathon scheduled on July 27.
Kipruto, who stormed to Olympic bronze in Paris last year, has endured a shaky start to 2025. He opened his season with a seventh-place finish at the Tokyo Marathon on March 2, clocking 2:05:4.
The race saw Ethiopians Tadese Takele (2:03:23) and Deresa Geleta (2:03:51) claim first and second place, with Kenyan Vincent Ngetich (2:04:00) completing the podium.
“I want to get more mileage and sharpen up some other key areas in my training, like speed. I am targeting a podium in my next race,” Kipruto was quoted as saying.
