Ruth Chepng'etich hopes to end her year on a high as she eyes another record in Madrid.
World marathon record holder Ruth Chepng’etich is targeting another record as she ties the line on New Year’s Eve for the Nationale-Nederlanden San Silvestre Vallecana in Madrid.
This will present an opportunity for the Kenyan ace to make history once again, as she looks to attack Brigid Kosgei’s course record in the 10km.
Brigid Kosgei became the first woman in history, back in 2018, running under 30 seconds over the distance and with times changing and technology evolving, that time has yet to be lowered and the course record remains intact.

Shericka Jackson reveals how being 'aggressive' as a child set the stage for her to become a sprinting queen
Shericka Jackson has opened up about her aggressive nature growing up and how it shaped her career.
Ruth Chepng’etich will be out to finish her year with another record, and leave a mark on the streets of Madrid. The former world marathon champion will forever be remembered for her love for the Chicago Marathon where she broke the world record.
In Chicago, Chepng’etich clocked 2:09:56 to leave the athletics world in awe and her record was just ratified recently. She will arrive in Madrid as one of the greatest.
She was in action in 2020 where she failed to secure a win and with her recent form, Chepng’etich is going for nothing short of a victory. In 2020, she was beaten by Ethiopia’s ace Yalemzerf Yehualaw.
She will be challenged by Ethiopian Adawork Aberta who will be looking to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Eliud Kipchoge and Yalemzerf Yehualaw of the NN Running team.
Kenyan-born Mexican Risper Besabwa will also be in the mix looking to impress with her best result this season being the sixth-place finish at the 2023 Pan American Games in the marathon. Others include Turks Emine Hartun Mechaal and Tugva GuvençYenigum.
Another one in the mix is Laura Priego who has already made a name for herself and will be out to improve her fifth-place finish from last season. The event will prove to be one of the most thrilling to usher in the new year with the Kenyan ace leading the charge.
