Ugandan long-distance runner Jacob Kiplimo is yet to decide whether he race before this year's World Championships slated for August in Budapest, Hungary. The reigning World Cross Country Gold Medalist told Uganda Radio Network that although he is undergoing training, he hasn't yet made up his mind on a possible race before August. “I don’t have any plans for races no,” Kiplimo said. Kiplimo has already participated in two events this year. He won the 44th World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Bathurst, posting 29:17. He later also claimed the New York City Half Marathon in 1:01:31 in March. His coach Peter Chelangat told Uganda Radio Network that possibly he will have one race before the World Championships, although they are yet to decide which race. “Well, for now we have not decided whether he will have one international competition before the Budapest event or not. But we need him to have one race to prepare for the big event,” Chelangat said.
