Half marathon

April 08, 2024

A half marathon is a road running event of 21.0975 kilometres (13 miles 192.5 yards)—half the distance of a marathon.[2] It is common for a half marathon event to be held concurrently with a marathon or a 5K race, using almost the same course with a late start, an early finish or shortcuts.[3] If finisher medals are awarded, the medal or ribbon may differ from those for the full marathon. The half marathon is also known as a 21K, 21.1K, or 13.1 miles, although these values are rounded and not formally correct.[examples needed]

A half marathon world record is officially recognised by the International Association of Athletics Federations.[4][5] The official IAAF world record for men is 57:31, set by Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda in November 2021 in Lisbon, Portugal,[6] and for women is 1:04:02, set by Ruth Chepng'etich of Kenya on April 4, 2021, in Istanbul, Turkey.[7] Participation in half marathons has grown steadily since 2003,[8] partly because it is a challenging distance, but does not require the same level of training that a marathon does.[8] In 2008, Running USA reported that the half marathon is the fastest-growing type of race.[8]
