American Sally Kipyego finished 17th in 2:32:53, and U.S. Trials champion
The race was held in Sapporo, Japan, a coastal city about 500 miles north of Tokyo, in an attempt to escape the extreme heat and humidity of the Tokyo summer. On Friday, the start time of the race was moved up an hour, to 6 a.m. local time, to further reduce the runners’ exposure to potentially dangerous conditions. Nonetheless, at the start, the temperature was 78 degrees, with 83% humidity and bright sun, only slightly more favorable than conditions in Tokyo at the time.
Conditions were so draining that just a few minutes later, when the leaders passed halfway in 1:15:14, the pack was down to 10, including Seidel and Kipyego. Although two women were able to rejoin the lead pack before 25K , the fifth 5K was covered in 17:24, and soon after the pack was again 10 strong. Kipyego was one of the two who lost contact 90 minutes into the race.of Kenya, the 2019 world champion who set the half marathon world record in April, fell off the lead pack.
Kosgei finally did with just less than 5K to go. She and Jepchirchir easily broke Salpeter and Seidel. Running with an ice pack stuffed down her singlet, Jepchirchir then took a slight lead while continually looking back at Kosgei. Salpeter, who had tried to stay with the Kenyan duo longer than Seidel did, started flailing immediately. Seidel eased past Salpeter, and the Israeli stopped while in fourth place with less than 3 miles to run.
