Lagat Making 10km Debut
Bernard Lagat, five times a world champion on the track indoors and outdoors, will be aiming for another mark in the record books when he makes his 10km road race debut on 10 May at the Morrisons Great Manchester Run, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race.
The 40-year-old US distance runner has been rewriting the over-40s masters world record book during the 2015 indoor season and has pledged to have a crack at Haile Gebrselassie’s tough 10km age-group time of 28:00 when he lines up in Europe’s biggest 10km road race.
