Europe’s Sunday running preview: Nijmegen’s record bid and a rematch in Soria
By AthRecs Editorial · 1 min read
Megan Keith has a record to chase in the Netherlands. In Spain, Rodrigue Kwizera has a course he knows, a title to win back and two rivals who know how close they are to him.
Nijmegen’s road race
Keith’s European 15K record attempt runs alongside a strong women’s race led by Peruth Chemutai and Asayech Ayichew. Mike Foppen has fellow Dutch international Stefan Nillessen to help set the pace. Sunday’s 15K starts at noon GMT.
Soria’s home ground
Kwizera has three Soria wins already. Last year’s winner Mathew Kipchumba Kipsang returns, as does Charles Kiboino after his close second at Itálica. Charity Cherop is among the main attractions in the women’s field. The wider programme gives local schoolchildren, masters and inclusive runners a share of Monte Valonsadero.
