This roundup gives you a complete overview so you don\u2019t miss a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Road races: half marathons and marathons at the elite level<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Generali Berlin Half Marathon 2026.<\/strong> The German race once again delivered world-class performances. In the men\u2019s field, Kenya\u2019s Andrea Kiptoo and compatriot Dennis Kipkemoi Kipkogei both clocked 59:11, with Germany\u2019s Amanal Petros completing the podium in 59:22.

With strong international participation and a fast course, Berlin remains one of Europe\u2019s premier half marathons. Full results are available on the AIMS website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Men\u2019s top 3:<\/strong> Andrea Kiptoo (59:11), Dennis Kipkemoi Kipkogei (59:11), Amanal Petros (59:22).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Women\u2019s top 3:<\/strong> Likina Amebaw (1:05:07), Daisilah Jerono (1:05:21), Veronica Loleo (1:05:35).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Generali Prague Half Marathon 2026.<\/strong> Under chilly but sunny skies, the Czech capital hosted a standout performance. Burundi\u2019s Rodrigue Kwizera successfully defended his title and set a new course record of 58:16. He was followed by Kenya\u2019s Samwel Chebolei (58:48) and Owen Korir (58:58). In the women\u2019s race, Kenya\u2019s Caroline Makandi Gitonga secured victory in 1:06:16 after a close battle with Jesca Chelangat (1:06:45) and Cynthia Chelangat Chepkwony (1:06:49). With more than 17,000 runners from 117 nationalities, Prague continues to establish itself as a benchmark event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Men\u2019s top 3:<\/strong> Rodrigue Kwizera (58:16), Samwel Chebolei (58:48), Owen Korir (58:58).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Women\u2019s top 3:<\/strong> Caroline Makandi Gitonga (1:06:16), Jesca Chelangat (1:06:45), Cynthia Chelangat Chepkwony (1:06:49).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wuxi Marathon (China).<\/strong> Although it took place a week earlier, its results are still making waves.

For trail runners, it\u2019s an ideal moment to plan the spring season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s next: April ultras to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultra Running Magazine previewed the standout events for the first weekend of April, with 28 ultramarathons across North America.

These events offer entry points for every level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doping and federations: key developments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/sports\/2026\/3\/30\/kenyas-former-new-york-marathon-champion-korir-gets-five-year-doping-ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">case of Albert Korir<\/a> made headlines. The 2021 New York City Marathon champion admitted using EPO and received a five-year ban. The sanction reinforces the importance of clean sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruth Chepngetich, current world record holder, is also serving a three-year ban after a positive test in 2025. While her record remains valid, the case highlights ongoing concerns around doping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, USA Track &#038; Field announced an exceptional expansion of its women\u2019s team for the upcoming World Road Running Championships after an incident in Atlanta. The decision prioritises fairness and athlete protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lessons for runners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the headlines, this week offers clear takeaways: structured training improves performance on the road, while strength and technique are crucial in trail running. Plan your season carefully and set realistic goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, remember that running is about consistency, effort and integrity. That\u2019s the foundation of real progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to track your training, discover new routes and connect with other runners, the SnapRace app provides everything you need to keep improving.
