Kenya, the most successful nation ever in the history of the event, has named a strong squad including both the defending individual champions Geoffrey Kamworor and Gladys Cherono for the IAAF/Cardiff University World Half Marathon Championships Cardiff 2016 on Saturday 26 March.

Having won 40 gold medals – more than four times more than their nearest rivals on the all-time medal table Ethiopia, who have nine –  since the championship was inaugurated in 1992, they will be odds-on to add to that tally in the Welsh capital next month.
