Kenyans Erick Kiptanui and Vivian Cheruyiot lead strong fields for the EDP Lisbon Half Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label road race, on Sunday (17). Losing the men's world record to Valencia last year was the impetus for organizers to this year attract a men's field that includes 21 runners with personal bests of under 1:01 and ten in the women's field who have dipped under 1:10.
