Beatrice Chebet was born on 5 March 2000, the daughter of Francis and Lilian Kirui.[2][3] While at primary school, she raced in 5000 m events,[3] and went on to attend Saramek Secondary School, Londiani, graduating from there in 2013.[3] She joined the Lemotit Athletics Club in November 2016.[3]
In June 2018, at the age of 18, Chebet won the Kenyan Under-20s 5000 metres. A month later at Tampere 2018, she became the first Kenyan woman and the first non-Ethiopian since 2006 to win the 5000 m title at the World U20 Championships in Athletics.[4]
At the 2019 World Cross Country Championships, the top three athletes in the women's U20 race – Chebet and the Ethiopian duo of Alemitu Tariku and Tsigie Gebreselama – were all awarded the time of 20:50 as they finished together.
