Results

The 2023 World Athletics Road Running Championships took place in Riga, Latvia, on 1 October 2023.[2][3][4] As the inaugural World Athletics Road Running Championships, they included the World Athletics Half Marathon Championships, which were last held in 2020.[4][5][a] A flat, single-lap marathon course in the Baltics' largest city. All courses were traffic-free.

The championships held races for the half marathon, 5K, and mile distances, and also included mass-participation events for the same.[4]

This was the first time when any recreational runner who was ready for a challenge could register for any of the official mass races of the World Championships in Riga and earn a unique medal from the World Athletics Road Running Championships.[7]
