Race course
August 6, 2017, 2:00 p.m. local time (3:00 p.m. CEST )
The course of the route did not allow top times, but this competition was varied and exciting from the start. After just a few kilometers, the Portuguese Catarina Ribeiro pulled away from the rest of the field, while a large number of runners stayed together in a chasing group. After five kilometers, Ribeiro's lead was 23 seconds. Even after ten kilometers, the Portuguese was still alone in front. However, the gap to the pursuers had shrunk to six seconds. Ribeiro was soon caught up and briefly became part of a management group of just under forty. She later gave up the race. But after just a few kilometers there was a new front runner, the Brit Alyson Dixon, who was able to set herself apart from all the others with a slight increase in speed. At fifteen kilometer Dixon had run 22 seconds out, and at twenty kilometer she was leading by 35 seconds. The group with the persecutors became smaller. After 25 kilometers there were fourteen runners who were fourteen seconds behind Dixon, so the gap narrowed again and soon Dixon was also put back.
At thirty kilometers, Kiplagat led the now fifteen-headed group. Even after another five kilometers there were still fourteen runners together, the race was now entering the decisive phase. In the final section, two runners, Kiplagat, the 2013 world champion, and Rose Chelimo from Bahrain, the 2016 Olympic yacht, took a few seconds off. They were followed by the American Amy Cragg and the Kenyan Flomena Daniel and, somewhat more behind, the Ethiopian Shure Demise, behind whom Eunice Kirwa from Bahrain and Kiprop had formed a group of two. The final decision was only made on the last two kilometers. Rose Chelimo had the most strength in the end and also shook off her last opponent. With a seven-second lead she crossed the finish line as the new world champion. In the fight for second place it got exciting again, because Cragg and Daniel came threateningly closer to Kiplagat. Finally Edna Kiplagat prevailed and saved the silver medal from Amy Cragg. The two finished within a second. Just three seconds behind them, Flomena Daniel was fourth. The distance to the next runners was then a bit bigger. Shure Demise crossed the finish line in fifth, ahead of Eunice Kirwa and Helah Kiprop. The next places went to Mare Dibaba and the Australian Jessica Trengove.
