However, the 25-year-old Kipruto will be competing in an unfamiliar event in Doha, when he takes on compatriot Brimin Kipruto, Vincent Kibet and Bethwell Birgen in the men’s 1,500m event. Cheruiyot will contest the event against fellow Kenyans including world 800m bronze medallist Ferguson Rotich and Commonwealth Games 800m champion Wycliffe Kinyamal. The event will consist of Kenyans 2019 world champions over 5,000m Hellen Obiri and Beatrice Chepkoech, 3,000m steeplechase winner. Also in the mix will be Olympic 3,000m steeplechase silver medallist Hyvin Kiyeng and world 5,000m runner-up Margaret Chelimo.
