Jacob Kiplimo retained his world cross-country title by winning the senior men’s championship at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. Kiplimo completed the race in 28:09 minutes, beating stiff competition from Ethiopia’s Berihu Aregawi, who won silver just like in the previous edition, while Kenya’s Benson Kiplangat earned bronze. It should be noted that Kiplimo also won the same race at the 2023 World Cross Country Championship in Bathurst, Australia.
