Olympic gold medalist and world champion Cheptegei Joshua Cheptegei is set to start his 2022 season with a 10km road run in Cannes, France.

The event is scheduled for this Sunday. Cheptegei who won a 5,000m gold and a 10,000m silver for Uganda at Tokyo Olympics 2020, is excited to be back on the road.

“I am happy to return to the French Riviera to start off my 2022 season. It’s been two and a half years since the last time I run 10km on the road so will be exciting to see where I am at the moment,” said Cheptegei.

Cheptegei last took part in a road race in 2019 when he smashed the world record over 10km, crossing the finishing line in 26 minutes and 38 seconds. His record was later lowered by Kenya’s Rhonex Kipruto by 14 seconds.

The athlete intends to use the races in the months before July to prepare for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham between July 28 and August 8.
