Alice Timbilil is one of the most popular and richest Athletics Competitor who was born on February 1, 1983 in Moiben, Kenya. Alice Jemeli Timbilil (born 1 February 1983 in Moiben, Uasin Gishu District) is a Kenyan professional long-distance runner. She is a two-time Olympian, having competed over 10,000 metres at both the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics.
She took a cross country circuit wins at the Cinque Mulini in 2003 and the Oeiras International Cross Country in 2004. At the 2004 IAAF World Cross Country Championships she just missed out on the medals by finishing in fourth place behind Werknesh Kidane, although she did lead the Kenyan women to a team silver medal in the long race. She took to the Olympic stage for a second time later that year, but she failed to build on her cross country success at the 2004 Athens Games and finished in sixteenth place in the 10,000 m Olympic final. She delivered in the long race at the 2005 IAAF World Cross Country Championships the following year, however, as she edged between Tirunesh Dibaba and Werknesh to take her first major senior medal, and also leading Kenyan to a consecutive team silver behind Ethiopia. Returning to the track, she ran at the 2005 World Championships in Athletics but did not manage to finish the race, repeating her disappointing World performance of six years earlier.
After taking 2006 out due to the birth of her first child, she returned in 2007 and switched her focus to road running competitions. She represented Kenya at the 2007 IAAF World Road Running Championships and won the Saint Silvester Road Race. She made her marathon debut in 2008 and took her first win in the event two years later at the 2010 Amsterdam Marathon.
Timbilil won the Saint Silvester Road Race in 2007, running 15 km in 53:07. At the 2007 IAAF World Road Running Championships she finished in ninth place. She made her marathon debut at the 2008 Paris Marathon and she set a time of 2:26:45 for fifth position.
It was in the field of cross country running that she gained her first major junior medal, running at the 2000 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. Timbilil took the silver medal behind Vivian Cheruiyot, completing a Kenyan sweep of the medals which led the junior women to the team gold. At the age of seventeen, she gained selection for the 2000 Sydney Olympics and reached the 10,000 m final, finishing in fourteenth place with a personal best run of 31:50.22. She was still eligible for the junior competition at the 2001 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, but she was far from medal-winning form and finished in sixteenth place.
