15K run

The 15K run (15 kilometers, or approximately 9.32 miles) is a long distance foot race. It is a rare cross country race that is not recognized as an Olympic event, due to both its scarcity and unconventional length. The world record for men is held by Leonard Komon of Kenya who ran a time of 41:13 at the Seven Hills Race in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.[1] The women's world record is held by Florence Kiplagat of Kenya who ran a time of 46:14 in Barcelona, Spain.[2]
