LetsRun.com's Best of 2023

It was a big year for Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Soufiane El Bakkali, Kelvin Kiptum, and more.

We rank the top 10 in the world and top 5 in the US in every distance event from 800m through the marathon. Where did Faith Kipyegon and Sifan Hassan's historic seasons stack up?

From Sha'carri Richardson to Noah Lyles, Sifan Hassan to Yared Nuguse, we honor the best and most entertaining athletes and races of 2023. *MB: The rest of the Letsrun Awards - WTF Performance of the Year, Breakthrough Performer of The Year, World Champs MVP, etc. 

Noah Lyles pulled off an incredible double, Mondo Duplantis and Ryan Crouser had record-breaking years, but there is no need to split this award: Kelvin Kiptum is our 2023 Men's Athlete of the Year. Faith Kiypegon (duh) wins our women's award.

• MB: Jakobs 2023 season vs Noahs 2023 season (I think Jakob's was better)

Our two winners - one man and one woman - will be announced on Monday. *MB: World Athletics won't name an AOY but we will - Let's here your 2023 LetsRun Award nominations
