Global middle-distance icon Faith Kipyegon has confirmed her appearance on Friday, 10 July 2026 at the Stade Louis-II. <\/p>\n\n<p>Following a standout road debut at the Monaco Run Gramaglia, where she clocked 29:47 in her first-ever 10km &#8211; ranking her immediately among the top fifteen fastest women in history on debut &#8211; Kipyegon now turns her focus back to the track.<\/p>\n\n<p>At 32, the reigning world record holder in both the 1500m and the Mile continues to redefine excellence in global athletics.
