Kamworor (59:10) and Karoki (59:36) have finally defeated Mo Farah (59:59).

 From very soon, the Kenyans imposed a tough pace, working as a team in order to give the UK Olympic Champion no chance of even dreaming with the victory.

The two Kenyans detached completely from the rest of the group in the final stages of the race, before Kamworor successfully defended his World Half Marathon title. At some point, Mo was clearly being left behind by everyone but he gathered the strength to come back from sixth place (at 15 km) and still win the bronze medal.

On the women's side, the front group was composed of 4 Kenyans and 2 Ethiopians. Peres Jepchirchir (1:07:31) leaded the Kenyan women to a clean sweep of the podium.
