Kwizera and Rengeruk triumph at the Prague half marathon, Vebr top Czech finisher

Rodrigue Kwizera from Burundi won the Prague half marathon with a time of 58:54, narrowly beating Kenyan favourite Isaiia Kipkoech Lasoi by just two seconds. It was Kwizera’s first time finishing the distance under one hour. In the women’s race, Kenya’s Lilian Kasai Rengeruk dominated from start to finish, crossing the line in 1:05:27. Despite the fast times, both course records remained unbeaten. Among the Czech participants, Patrik Vebr was the fastest man for the third year running, clocking 1:05:40, while Michaela Čepová surprised as the top Czech woman with 1:15:39.
