HONORED WORK: “Run For Your Life: The Murder that Shook the Running World”

In September 2021, Kenyan runner Agnes Tirop broke the women’s 10,000-meter world record. Just five weeks later, she was dead. In a yearlong investigation, Bloomberg gained access to hundreds of pages of court documents as well as Tirop’s family and friends to recount her tragic story. Visually stunning and thoughtfully reported, Bloomberg effectively documented the widespread issue of gender-based violence against runners and questioned what more can be done by governing bodies and the sports brands that benefit from the success of female athletes.
