瓦伦西亚半程马拉松一天刷新两项西班牙纪录：Kwizera 跑出58分03秒
在西班牙瓦伦西亚市举行的第35届瓦伦西亚半程马拉松10月25日传出双纪录：Rodrigue Kwizera 以58分03秒夺冠，把 Carlos Mayo 2023年在同一赛道创造的59分39秒西班牙纪录大幅改写，他也成为这项赛事在官方21.0975公里距离上首位西班牙冠军。
他的训练同伴 Thierry Ndikumwenayo 以58分09秒获亚军，同样跑进原纪录；肯尼亚选手 Victor Kipruto 以58分12秒获第三。
女子组中，肯尼亚选手 Sheila Chepkirui 以1小时03分51秒夺冠，创今年世界最佳成绩，仅领先同胞 Diana Wanza 一秒。西班牙选手 Laura Luengo 以1小时08分28秒把西班牙女子纪录改写，快了原纪录三秒。
瓦伦西亚市政府为赛事实施了特别交通方案：比赛于8时25分起分七批出发，2.6万名跑者参赛，市政府预计全赛道沿线人流约10万人；赛事属世界田联金标赛事。Kwizera 的58分03秒比欧洲纪录58分06秒还快三秒，但因其从布隆迪转入西班牙的国际转会手续尚未完成，该成绩暂不能算作欧洲纪录。
Valencia Half Marathon Produces Two Spanish Records in One Day as Kwizera Runs 58:03
The 35th Valencia Half Marathon, held in the Spanish city of Valencia on October 25, produced two national records. Rodrigue Kwizera won in 58 minutes 3 seconds, slashing the Spanish record of 59:39 set by Carlos Mayo on the same course in 2023, and became the first Spanish winner of the race over its official distance of 21.0975 kilometres.
His training partner Thierry Ndikumwenayo finished second in 58:09, also inside the old record, with Kenya's Victor Kipruto third in 58:12.
In the women's race, Kenya's Sheila Chepkirui won in 1:03:51, the fastest time in the world this year, just one second ahead of compatriot Diana Wanza. Spain's Laura Luengo set a new Spanish women's record of 1:08:28, three seconds faster than the previous mark.
Valencia City Council ran a special mobility plan for the race: 26,000 runners started in seven waves from 08:25, and the council expected around 100,000 people along the course. The event holds World Athletics Gold Label status. Kwizera's 58:03 is three seconds faster than the European record of 58:06, but because his international transfer from Burundi to Spain has not yet been completed, the time cannot yet be ratified as a European record.
