TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Athletes from around East Texas and the world competed in the Fresh 15 Race in Tyler Saturday morning.
One of those athletes was Edna Kiplagat, a world-renowned long-distance runner. Kiplagat has won two world championships as well as the Boston, New York City, and London marathons. On Saturday, she took her talents to Tyler to compete in a marathon for the first time in a long time.
“All of last year and part of this year has been so difficult for not just the sports but all people around the world,” Kiplagat said.
