Stephen Kwelio Chemlany

Stephen Kwelio Chemlany (born 9 August 1982) is a Kenyan long-distance runner who competes in the marathon.

He gained a master's degree in computer science from Iona College in the United States in 2008 and represented the school athletically.

[4] He came eleventh at the Healthy Kidney 10K and ran a time of 67:19 minutes at the Virginia Beach Half Marathon in September.

Initially tasked with leading runners up to the 30 km mark at world record pace, he continued after that point.

[9] A new personal best of 2:07:44 hours came at the 2013 Berlin Marathon, although the race was even faster in that year as the world record was broken by Wilson Kipsang and Chemlany's time was enough for fourth only.

[10] The Seoul International Marathon in March 2014 was a venue for further improvement, to 2:06:24 hours, and he was runner-up to Ethiopia's Yacob Jarso.
