Agnes Ngetich of Kenya has officially set a new world record for the women-only half-marathon. The performance took place during the World Road Running Championships held in Copenhagen, where Ngetich crossed the finish line to claim the gold medal.

A "women-only" record is a specific designation in athletics used to distinguish performances achieved in races where women do not compete alongside or pace with male athletes. By winning the event in Copenhagen, Ngetich demonstrated significant dominance in the field, solidifying her status as a top competitor in long-distance road running. The event serves as a premier showcase for road racing talent, and Ngetich’s record-breaking time marks a notable achievement in the sport's history. While the race was highly competitive, Ngetich’s ability to maintain the pace required for a world record in a standalone women's field highlights her technical skill and endurance.
