Uganda’s Harbert Kibet leads an impressive men’s field in the 18th edition of the TCS World 10K Bengaluru, which will be held here on Sunday. Kibet is among the five runners with a personal best under 27 seconds. This puts the men’s course record – 27:38s, set by Nicholas Kipkorir Kimeli – under threat. 

The 20-year-old Kibet claimed victory in his maiden 10K run at the 10K Facsa Castellon in February. His 26:39s timing made him the fifth fastest 10K runner in history.
