Jackline Cherono

Jackline Cherono is a Kenyan marathon runner, born on 25 June 1998. She began her career in 2014 as a steeplechase runner and in later seasons also raced middle-distance and long-distance events on the track. A serious leg injury in 2022 interrupted that phase, and she returned to competition on the road at the 2023 Enschede Marathon, where she finished fourth. In October 2023 she won the 100th edition of the Kosice Peace Marathon in Slovakia in 2:24:43, and in April 2025 she won the Rotterdam Marathon in the Netherlands in 2:21:15, ahead of her fellow Kenyans Aminet Ahmed and Azemra Gebru. She is married to the Kenyan marathon runner Patrick Ketter.
