Seifu Tura Abdiwak[a] (born 19 June 1997[2]) is an Ethiopian long-distance runner. Tura originally specialized in middle-distance running, having won the 3000 m event of the 2015 Janusz Kusociński Memorial in Szczecin, Poland, with a time of 7:56.22.[3][4]
In 2017, Tura debuted over the marathon distance at the JoongAng Seoul Marathon, taking second place with a time of 2:09:26.[1][5]
After achieving a time of 2:04:44 at the 2018 Dubai Marathon, Tura won the 2018 Milano Marathon with a time of 2:09:04, despite having an issue with cramps.[6][1] It was the runner's third attempt at the distance, five months after the first.[1]
Later that year, Tura also won the Shanghai Marathon, with a time of 2:09:18, a split second ahead of compatriot Tsegaye Mekonnen.[7][8][9] This also marked the first time both winners of the Shanghai Marathon were from Ethiopia, as Ethiopian Yebrgual Melese had also won the race, setting a course record in the process.[7]
In 2021, Tura set a marathon personal best of 2:04:29 with a fourth-place finish in Milano.[10][2] Months later, Tura won the 2021 Chicago Marathon with a time of 2:06:12.[11][10]
