Kenyan athletes are set to dominate the 48th edition of the Houilles 10km race in Paris, France on Sunday, December 29, 2019. The event will feature a strong men's and women's field, with Cornelius Kangogo among the favourites to win.
Kangogo, a three-time winner in Houilles between 2013 and 2016, will be up against compatriot Felix Kipkoech, who has a half marathon personal best of one hour and 12 seconds set in France last month.
The women's race is expected to be fast throughout, with a duel between two top Kenyans: 24-year-old Norah Jeruto and 21-year-old Gloria Kite. Jeruto, a steeplechase specialist, recorded a strong 30 minutes and 7 seconds in a 10km race in Prague in September, while Kite ran 30 minutes and 36 seconds in Valencia in January.
