Jakob Ingebrigtsen narrowly missed gold in the 5000m at the World Road Running Championships, held in Copenhagen, as he was overtaken by Dawit Seare of Eritrea in a thrilling finish. Ingebrigtsen's late surge showcased his remarkable speed, reminiscent of his recent victory at the European Championships. However, he ultimately finished with a silver medal and a personal national record of 12:59.

The race began rapidly, led by Flavien Szot of France. As the competition intensified, Mezgebu Sime from Ethiopia surged ahead with about a kilometer left, stretching the field behind him. Seare quickly capitalized, moving to the front, but Ingebrigtsen closed the gap impressively. In the final 200m, it appeared victory was within reach for Ingebrigtsen, but he faded just short, allowing Seare to reclaim the lead and finish in a national record time of 12:56.

Saywon Amanuel, also from Eritrea, secured third place with a personal best of 13:00. Meanwhile, Jimmy Gressier of France, who had previously set a world-leading time of 12:51 this year, finished 14th with a time of 13:17.

In the women's 5k, Likina Amebaw of Ethiopia triumphed in a season's best of 14:41, finishing ahead of Caroline Makandi Gitonga of Kenya and Rose Davies from Australia, who set an area record of 14:50. Hannah Nuttall of Britain placed 10th with a personal best of 15:08.

The women's mile saw Agathe Guillemot claim the title in a world-leading time of 4:22.74, overtaking Freweyni Hailu in the final meters. Hailu took silver in 4:24.35, while Mirriam Cherop from Kenya finished third in 4:25.71.

In a surprising turn in the men's mile, Yared Nuguse of the USA led early but was overtaken by Robert Farken of Germany, who won in a world-leading 3:51.80. Nuguse ended with silver in a season's best of 3:52.33, while Ruben Querinjean of Luxembourg set a national record to take bronze in 3:52.77. Jake Heyward from Britain finished 11th with a personal best of 3:55.76.
