![]() ![]() The women's record is 1:02:52, set by Letesenbet Gidey on 24 October 2021, at the Valencia Half Marathon. The men's half-marathon world record is 57:31, set by Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo on 21 November 2021 during the Lisbon Half Marathon. Before that date, the IAAF did not recognise any road running world records, though the concept of a world record was recognised by other organisations, such as the Association of Road Racing Statisticians (ARRS). The IAAF officially recognised the fastest times prior to that date as a "world best" from 1 January 2003 onwards. A total of five men's world records and six women's world records have been officially ratified since that date. The world record in the half marathon has been officially recognised since 1 January 2004 by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the international governing body for the sport of athletics. Abraham Kiptum, ran a half marathon in 2018 in a time of 58:18, which would have been a world record (world record 58:23), but in 2019 this world record was nullified, because of a doping violation verdict in 2019.
