Agnes Ngetich set a new 10km world record as she became the first woman to run the distance in under 30 minutes in a women-only race.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Kenyan clocked 29 minutes 27 seconds in Herzogenaurach.<\/p>\n

That broke the previous record of 30:01, set in the same German town by the late Agnes Tirop<\/a> in 2021.<\/p>\n

Ngetich clocked a time of 29:24 two years ago in a women-only race, but the record was not ratified because the course was found to be short by 25 metres.<\/p>\n

“I’m so excited, I didn’t expect this,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Last year I missed it by two seconds, so I wanted to come here today and try for it again.<\/p>\n

“I’m so proud of myself. After missing out on the Olympics last year, I want to make up for it this year at the World Championships.”<\/p>\n

Last year, Ngetich broke the 10km world record in Valencia,<\/a> becoming the first woman to run the distance in under 29 minutes in a mixed-race event.<\/p>\n

She recorded a time of 28:46, breaking Yalemzerf Yehualaw’s world record for a mixed road race of 29:14 set in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
