This Sunday, November 3rd, will be a historic day in the world of running. For the first time ever, a group of women will be attempting to break the New York City Marathon record. The current record of 2:22:31 was set by Kenyan Mary Keitany in 2017, and the women aiming to break it are Ethiopian runners Ruti Aga and Worknesh Degefa.
This is an exciting moment for female athletes everywhere, as it marks a major milestone in the fight for gender equality in sports. Women have long been underrepresented in the world of running, and this attempt to break the record is a powerful symbol of their strength and determination.
Ruti Aga and Worknesh Degefa have both had impressive careers in running. Aga has won several marathons, including the 2018 Berlin Marathon, while Degefa has won the Dubai Marathon twice and holds the Ethiopian record for the half marathon. Both women have trained hard for this race and are confident that they can break the record.
The New York City Marathon is one of the most prestigious races in the world, and it will be an incredible feat if either of these women are able to break the record. It will serve as an inspiration to female athletes everywhere, showing them that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.
This Sunday will be a day to remember for female runners around the world. Ruti Aga and Worknesh Degefa will be pushing themselves to their limits in an attempt to make history. Let’s all cheer them on as they strive to break the New York City Marathon record!
