Ebenyo ran 27: 52.60 to win Kenya’s first medal at the ongoing championships. The 27 year old ran 28:28 to set a new course record in clinching the men’s title at the ninth edition of the Okpekpe race held at the end of May 2023.

Zack Amodu, Okpekpe road race director says Ebenyo has once again lived up to his pre-championships boast that he would make the podium in Budapest, Hungary.

‘Daniel was confident of setting a new course record when he came to the Okpekpe race in May and he walked his talk.

‘He was also confident of winning a medal at the World Championships and he did that on Sunday night,’ said Amodu who expressed his delight that the Okpekpe race helped in preparing Ebenyo to make the podium at the World Athletics’ flagship event.
