Lineth Chepkurui (born 23 February 1988 in Bomet) is a Kenyan long distance runner.
At the 2008 World Cross Country Championships Chepkurui finished eleventh in the individual race, however this was not enough to be a part of the Kenyan team, who won silver medals in the team competition. She won her third consecutive Lilac Bloomsday Run in 2010, running a world's best time over 12 km with her course record run of 38:10.[1][nb 1]
Chepkurui is a two-time champion of the Bay to Breakers. In 2010, her time of 38:07 was a women's course record.[5] She also set a course record at the Beach to Beacon 10K, knocking 26 seconds off the former record to win with a time of 31:00 minutes.[6] She ran at the Falmouth Road Race two weeks later, but was beaten into second place by Wude Ayalew.[7] She entered the Rock 'n' Roll Philadelphia Half Marathon in September and finished as runner-up with a personal best of 1:07:46, two seconds behind Meseret Defar.[8]
Chepkurui trains with Kimbia Athletics and is coached by Dieter Hogen.
