Mosinet Geremew (born 12 February 1992) is an Ethiopian middle-distance and long-distance runner.[1] He competed in the 10,000 metres event at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics in Beijing, China.[2]
He became the first person to win twice at the Yangzhou Jianzhen International Half Marathon, taking back-to-back wins in 2015 to 2016, which included a course record of 59:52 minutes – the fastest achieved in a Chinese race.[3]
His career started in cross country running. He ran in the junior category at the 2010 IAAF World Cross Country Championships and placed 16th overall – he was not a point-scoring runner for the Ethiopian team. He returned to the same venue (Bydgoszcz) as a senior competitor at the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, though his 24th-place finish again left him out of the team point scoring.[1]
