Gdynia Half Marathon
The Gdynia Half Marathon covers 21.0975 kilometers on the roads of Gdynia, a Baltic port city in northern Poland. The race holds a unique place in half-marathon history due to Peres Jepchirchir’s women-only world record of 1:05:16, achieved without male pacemakers. This record is significant because World Athletics maintains a distinct women-only record category separate from the open women’s half-marathon records. As the provided details do not cover the route, participant numbers, or race traditions, the most notable aspect is Gdynia's connection to a very specific achievement in the sport's record books.
