The 29-year-old shaved 29 seconds off the previous mark of 57:20 set by Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo in Lisbon in March, which had itself surpassed Kejelcha's earlier record of 57:30 set in Valencia in October 2024. Kejelcha, who also holds the men's 10,000m road race world record, finished second behind Kenya's Sabastian Sawe at the London Marathon earlier this year.
