Since winning his first title in Copenhagen in 2017, Kamworor has become one of the finest distance runners of his generation, winning the next two world half marathon and world cross country titles.

The versatile Kenyan has also collected a pair of New York City Marathon crowns while improving the world record over the half marathon to 58:01, also in Copenhagen, five years after his initial triumph there.

On the track, he famously pushed British icon, Mo Farah, to earn silver at the 2017 Beijing World Championships in China.

In early March, Kamworor was named in the Kenyan men's team for Gdynia alongside, 2020 Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon winner, Kibiwott Kandie, Leonard Barsoton, the 2017 world cross country silver medalist, Shadrack Kimining Korir and Victor Kimutai Chumo.

He regrets the postponement and cancellation of spring season events declaring he was in 'top shape' and ready to become only the second man, after Eritrea's Zersenay Tadese (2008 to 2017), to win four successive World Half titles.

"We were in top shape when COVID-19 struck. Staying at home is a major challenge and requires a lot of discipline," he offered.

After the World Half, Kamworor was intent on making the Kenyan team for the marathon at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics alongside his mentor and training partner, Eliud Kipchoge, who was penned to defend his crown in Japan before the event was postponed to 2021.
