He is the 12th fastest in the field with a personal best time of 2:05:23.
“The last few years have been challenging for me because of injuries. However, I am happy to be back thanks to my great team. Practicing patience and hard work have also helped me remain rooted,” he said.
Kamworor had been battling a series of injuries in the previous years. Things started off worse for him in June 2020 after being hit by a motorcycle. The injury saw him undergo surgery which forced him to slow down.
The 2019 New York City Marathon champion participated in this year’s London Marathon and managed an impressive second-place finish behind compatriot Kelvin Kiptum.
The race saw him clock a new Personal Best (PB) of 2:04:23. He kickstarted his season at the World Cross-country championships in Bathurst, Australia and finished fourth in the senior men’s race (29:37).
