MEDIO MARATON DE BOGOTA, COLOMBIA – 27 JULY 2014:

By GRR 0

In a race held at 2600m altitude times were inevitably slow, but the winners benefited from knowledge of the course and conditions writes Phil Minshull.

Geoffrey Kwamworor began to edge away from the rest of the field after halfway, while Rita Jeptoo strode out to win by almost two minutes.

Pre-race favourite Gladys Cherono, the IAAF World Half Marathon Champion, had a below-par race and finished fifth in 1:17:14.
