“It was about winning the race. I think I could have run a faster race but I did my best. I think winning World Cross Country Championships helped prepare me for this half marathon,” Kiplimo said after winning the race.

His fellow Ugandan champion Cheptegei came second in 62:09 completing the one-two finish for Ugandan champions.
