About Ondoro Osoro
- Ondoro Osoro (born 3 December 1967) is a former Kenyan long-distance runner who competed mostly in cross country and road races. In his early career he won a series of cross country races in Europe (taking the first IAAF World Cross Challenge title) and twice represented Kenya at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships.
- He also ran the 5000 metres on the track, competing at the World Championships in Athletics and winning a bronze medal at the 1991 All-Africa Games.
- He won the San Silvestre Vallecana 10 km road race three times during this period. A serious car accident in 1995 left him unable to compete for two years, but he returned to action with a world record for the 10-mile (16 km) run in late 1997.
- On his debut over the 42,195 kilometres (26,219 mi) distance, he won the 1998 Chicago Marathon with a time of 2:06:54 hours, which ranked him as the third fastest ever at that point and was the fastest ever debut run for the marathon.
- He was third in Chicago in 1999 and came fourth at the 2000 Boston Marathon.
- He was picked for the Kenyan Olympic team at the 2000 Sydney Games, but was shot in the neck during a carjacking in Kenya a month before the competition. He began running again in 2001, but the kidnapping of his son and a bout of malaria reduced his competitive appearances.
- Although nerve damage from the shooting meant he ran with a constant lean to the right, he placed third at the 2002 Honolulu Marathon and won the San Diego Marathon in 2003.
- He went on to have two more top ten finishes in the San Diego race and placed ninth in the 2004 Frankfurt Marathon.
