Barcelona Half Marathon 2022:

• Sunday, 3^rd April – Barcelona city, Spain

Uganda’s on-form half marathon king Ali Chebures is set to take part in the 2022 Barcelona Half Marathon in Spain.

This run will happen on Sunday, 3^rd April 2022 where hundreds of athletes across the world have registered.

Fresh from clinching the 2022 Source of the Nile Half Marathon event in Uganda, Chebures has switched focus to the famed Barcelona run on his European debut.

The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) runner clocked 1:02:00 to beat the rest of the field to the gold medal in the 2022 Source of the Nile Half Marathon held in the tourism city of Jinja, Eastern Uganda.

He had also won the 2022 season opener in Tororo (10 KM).

Chebures is coached by Quito Oding and contracted with Spanish giants Xiruca Sports Agency  under the manager, Monica Pont Chafer who is positive coming to the race.

The Barcelona Half Marathon is a fast race. There is a good opportunity to perform. It is a course with a lot of history and pedigree but I am confident he will make it on Sunday.
