Kenya’s Daniel Mateiko will be the star to watch at the 16th edition of the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon that will be held on February 18, 2023 in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.
The 24 year-old who holds a personal best of 58:26 which places him the ninth fastest of all time over that distance, will not have an easy ride as he will face-off with the 2021 Chicago marathon champion, Seifu Tura from Ethiopia who comes to this race with the second fastest time on paper of 58:36 that he got last year at this same event.
The two athletes have been selected by the race organisers to try and lower the race course record of 57:56 that was set last year by the World Half Marathon record holder, Jacob Kiplimo from Uganda.
