Evans Kiplagat Chebet (born 10 November 1988)[1] is a Kenyan long-distance runner who competes in road races. In 2022, he became the third man this century to win both the Boston Marathon and New York City Marathon.[3] Chebet successfully defended his title at the 2023 Boston Marathon for his third consecutive World Marathon Major victory in a row.[4] He finished third at the 2016 Berlin Marathon.
In September 2019, after finishing in the top six of every marathon he had finished, Chebet won his first international race, the Buenos Aires Marathon, in a time of 2:05:00. The year after, in March 2020, he won the Lake Biwa Marathon with 2:07:29. In December of the same year, he lowered his personal best by exactly two minutes and set a world lead when he won the 2020 Valencia Marathon in 2:03:00, kicking down Lawrence Cherono and winning by four seconds.
