ATHLETICS Why Obiri will not be at World Championships
The two-time world champion has opted against running at the global event to fucus on her young marathon career after victory in Boston in April
Obiri will be making her debut in the race after winning the New York City Half Marathon in March and the Boston Marathon in April. She opened her season with a win at the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon in February.
“There is no greater feeling than having my daughter watch me win races, and having her with me when I won the United Airlines NYC Half and Boston Marathon this year was truly special.
"Now, I’m looking forward to lining up for the women-only Mastercard Mini 10K for the first time, and having so many girls from the next generation watch me race, just like my daughter does,” said Obiri.
On her part, Lokedi could not make it to the Boston Marathon earlier this year after she got an injury during the last days of her training.
