At the end of the final event of the 2023 Trail World Championships, Uganda's Leonard Chemutai won the classic mountain race for the second year running. He won in 56:14 ahead of Kenya's Ombogo Kiriago Philemon (56:22) and Germany's Filimon Abraham (56:27).
"I was convinced that I had to win this medal," said Chemutai, who won the classic U20 mountain race at last year's championships in Thailand. He continued: "Last time Kenya won the (senior) medal and today I said, 'no, Uganda has a chance to get it.' My tactic was just to win. I wasn't doing too well on the last loop, my leg was hurting but I said to myself, 'I've got to move'. God gave me the strength and I pushed to the end.
