The20K run(20kilometres,or approximately 12.4miles) is along distance foot race.It is a rarely held race that is not recognized as anOlympicevent. The event heldIAAFworld championship status in 2006 only, when the existingIAAF World Half Marathon Championshipsbriefly hosted the shorter distance.[1]
The world best for men is held byZersenay Tadeseof Eritrea who ran a time of 56:01 at the2006 IAAF World Road Running ChampionshipsinDebrecen,Hungary.[2]The women's world best is held byFlorence Kiplagatof Kenya who ran a time of 1:01:54 at the 2015Barcelona Half MarathoninBarcelona,Spain.[3]IAAF records require the 20 km distance to be run on a course without a significant drop in elevation between the start and finish points and where the birds-eye distance between the start of finish points is less than ten kilometres. TheAssociation of Road Racing Statisticianshas an additional criteria in that it requires records to be set in competitions of the given distance, thus it does not recognise Kiplagat's run due to it being recorded en route to a longer distance. The ARRS-recognised world record is 1:03:21 byLornah Kiplagatof theNetherlands,who also recorded her time at the 2006 World Championships.[4]
