Geoffrey Kamworor targets the Podium at Boston Marathon

Three-time world half marathon champion Geoffrey Kamworor will target the podium at the 126th edition of the Boston Marathon that will be held on Monday April 18, 2022.

The two time New York City marathon champion said he has been healed from the groin injury and preparing for the race set to attract top runners from across the world.

Kamworor pulled out of the Agnes Tirop Memorial World Cross Country championships that were held last month after picking a groin injury few hours to the event.

The 29 year-old won the world half marathon titles in 2014 in Copenhagen in Denmark, before defending his title two years later and rounded up at the 2018 show in Valencia, Spain.

“I was well prepared for the Agnes Tirop World Cross Country Tour but it was very unfortunate that in the last two weeks to the race I got an injury. That groin injury was the reason for pulling out,” said the former world Athletics championships 10,000m silver medalist.

With Boston ahead of him, he decided that he was not going to compete at the race, with the course having mud and other obstacles that may ruin his injury more.

“With that course, I saw that it is better not to run because the mud and the way the course could not allow me to compete. I had to evade the tough course to avoid more problems after the race,” he added.

The two times world cross country champion will be joining a host of top athletes at the Boston marathon hoping to run to the podium as he did in the New York City Marathon.

“For now, I can say I am in top form just trying to train by sharpening skills and am ready. Right now I am going on well with my training ahead of the Boston marathon,” he added.
