Cheptegei sets eyes on World Half Marathon
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Smarting from setting a new 5000m World Record in Monaco, Joshua Cheptegei has been named on the National team to boost the country’s onslaught for gold at the World Half Marathon Championships.

The World Athletics Half Marathon Championships Gdynia 2020, is set for October 17, 2020 in the northern Polish Baltic coast city, Poland

The statement from Uganda athletics federation Secretary General Nambayo Mawerere, Cheptegei will lead the nine-team Ugandan squad and will be joined by recent Golden Spike 5000m champion and Meet Record holder Jacob Kiplimo, Stephen Kissa, Abel Chebet and Moses Kibet.

The four-member women’s team will be spearheaded by Juliet Chekwel who will make her World Athletics Half Marathon Championships debut. She made her first major appearance in 2018 at the Cardiff Commonwealth Half Marathon after clocking 1:09:45 at the distance.

She will line up alongside Doreen Chesang, Doreen Chemutai and Rachael Zena Chebet, some of the country’s finest runners over the distance.
The team will be accompanied by Coach Benjamin Njia.

The Uganda Athletics Federation has named the country’s best possible team that carries a lot of hope on their individual shoulders and team top honors.

Uganda last participated at the 2018 World Half Marathon in Valencia, Spain with the men’s team finishing 5th and women 16th position overall.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
