Ivan Babaryka (Ukrainian: Іван Бабарика; born 11 November 1982) is a Ukrainian long distance runner who specialises in the marathon.

Career[edit]

He began his career as a track athlete and became the Ukrainian indoor champion over 3000 metres in 2006.[1] He won the 2007 Moscow International Peace Marathon, running a time of 2:20:34 in severe weather conditions.[2] He finished in second place with a time of 2:14:55 at the 2008 Mainz Marathon, behind compatriot Andriy Naumov.[3] He returned to Moscow in September and defended his marathon title with a time of 2:20:11.[4] The following year, he was again runner up at the Mainz Marathon, this time to Sammy Kipkoech Tum, recording a season's best time of 2:15:36.[5] He finished fifth at the Albstädter Citylauf with a time of 30:06, but he was the fastest European runner outside of the all-Kenyan top four.[6]

He started 2010 with a win in the Championship of Ukraine of the Ministry of Internal Affairs 5K cross country race.[7] He was a surprise winner of the Pyongyang Marathon in April that year, knocking nearly a minute of his previous marathon best with 2:13:56 to take victory over more favoured opposition.[8]
