By Website Writer; Ugandan athlete Joshua Cheptegei is at stardom again after setting a new 10km world lead race in Cannes, France on Sunday.
The racing monster braved the strong winds to steer at 26:49 ahead of Kenya’s Samuel Habtom at 27:51 & Uganda’s Abel Sikowo coming in 3rd at 27:58.
With the 10Km world leading time of 26:49, Cheptegei becomes the 6th fastest of all time in the race.
