Career
Kibiwott was unusual for a Kenyan runner in that he did not compete extensively in his youth. He began training in seriousness in his twenties, moving to Nyahururu. His first European races came at the 20 van Alphen: he was 13th in 2002 and improved to third place the following year.
The race was his first after a long period of injuries and he only started training in July 2006 again.
In 2007 he was fourth at the RAK Half Marathon, then was runner-up at the Berlin Half Marathon. He competed at the 2007 IAAF World Road Running Championships in Udine, Italy, finishing 45th.
He made a move up to the marathon distance after that season and made his debut at the 2009 Paris Marathon, where he recorded a time of 2:09:13 hours for 12th place in the high calibre race. He was ninth at the Paris race in 2010 and came fifth at the Madrid Marathon in 2011.
2003 Dam tot Damloop (45:44).
