Timeline
Peres Jepchirchir (born 27 September 1993) is a Kenyan professional long-distance runner who competes mainly in road running competitions.
She began to compete in road races in 2013, starting with two wins at 10K runs in South Africa, then a third-place finish at the Kisumu Marathon in her native Kenya, finishing the distance in 2:47:33 hours.
Despite the fast time, which moved her to 13th on the all-time lists, the strength in depth of the race left her in fourth some way behind winner Cynthia Cherotich Limo while six women ran quicker than 67 minutes (a first for the sport).
She turned to cross country running at the start of 2014 and managed to take second place to Faith Kipyegon at the Kenyan Cross Country Championships – her first significant finish at national level.
Her talent was spotted by Gianni Demadonna's team and she began to earn invitations to high level European road races.
She won three straight races in France in late 2014, winning the Le Lion Half Marathon (in a course record of 69:12 minutes), the Marseille-Cassis Classique Internationale, then the Corrida de Houilles.
She was narrowly runner-up to Janet Kisa at the end-of-year BOclassic 5K.
She made her highest profile appearance yet at the 2015 London Marathon, but failed to build on her shorter distance achievements, as she could not finish the full marathon distance.
However, she began to reach the peaks of road running in 10K and half marathon that year.
Her best of 30:55 minutes at the Prague Grand Prix was the second fastest globally for the season and one week later she set a course record of 67:17 minutes to win the Ústí nad Labem Half Marathon – a time which placed her seventh on the year's top lists.
She also defended her title in Marseille in October.
Jepchirchir was the champion at the 2016 and 2020 World Half Marathon Championships.
She claimed victories at the 2021 New York City and 2022 Boston Marathon and finished third at the 2023 London Marathon.
Jepchirchir set a new best of 66:39 minutes at the 2016 Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon.
This performance earned her a place on the Kenyan team for the 2016 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships.
As the race progressed, this was whittled down to a Kenyan trio of Jepchirchir, Limo and Mary Wacera Ngugi, and this eventually resulted in a sprint finish between Limo and Jepchirchir.
Despite having been among the least experienced and well-known of the Kenyan team, it was Jepchirchir who emerged as world champion, finishing the race in 67:31 minutes and leading the Kenyan women to the team title and a podium sweep with Limo and Ngugi.
A course record came at the Yangzhou Jianzhen International Half Marathon in April, with her run of 67:21 minutes.
Her best time for the half marathon of 1:05:06, set on 10 February 2017 in the UAE, is a former half marathon world record.
At the 2017 RAK Half Marathon she broke two world records.
She took three seconds off Florence Kiplagat's half marathon record in 65:06 minutes and set the 20K world record at 61:40 minutes.
Her position as the world's best was short-lived, however, as Joyciline Jepkosgei (third at the RAK race) broke both her world records the following month.
She won the gold medal in the women's marathon at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
She holds the women's only half marathon world record of 1:05:16 set at the 2020 World Half Marathon Championships in Gdynia, Poland, which was an improvement on her own previous record.
Jepchirchir ran track while at school and was spurred on by the achievements of fellow Kenyan Mary Keitany, who was a world half marathon champion at the time.
In the 2020 Summer Olympics, she won the gold medal in a time of 2:27.20, given to her by Thomas Bach.
She won the 2021 New York City Marathon with a time of 2:22:39, becoming the first person to win the Olympic gold medal and the New York City Marathon in the same year.
She won the 2022 Boston Marathon with a time of 2:21:02.
Due to her hip injury, Jepchirchir had to miss the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon.
