Lilian Kasait Rengeruk prize money
Lilian Kasait Rengeruk has been paid $62,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 491st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 17 paid finishes in the women's 3000 m and women's 5000 m, one of them a win.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.

The 17 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $62,750 is 17 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 18 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The World Cross Country Championships
What Lilian Kasait Rengeruk ran on the grass
| RACE | PLACE | MARK | EARNED | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senior women's race | 2nd | 31:08 | $15,000 | $20,000 |
The championships have paid Lilian Kasait Rengeruk $15,000 of her own, for one finish inside the first six. A senior race pays $30,000 to win and $3,000 for 6th, and nothing at all to the seventh runner home. The team she ran on earned Kenya $20,000, all of it from a team standing, which is settled on the places of the first four runners a country gets home. It is the federation's money rather than hers, and it is not added to the $62,750 at the top of this page. Shescored alongside Beatrice Chebet, Margaret Kipkemboi and Agnes Jebet Ngetich, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The cross country page holds all 10 races across two championships and the $620,000 they paid out.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $28,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Lilian Kasait Rengeruk in 2020, 2022 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $62,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Lilian Kasait Rengeruk won?
$62,750, which ranks 491st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 17 paid finishes between 2017 and 2024.
What is Lilian Kasait Rengeruk's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 5000 m at the 2023 Memorial Van Damme. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Lilian Kasait Rengeruk gets paid?
Entirely by where she finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a win is worth the same in the women's 3000 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
How many Diamond League meetings has Lilian Kasait Rengeruk won?
One of 18, worth $10,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $10,000.
Has Lilian Kasait Rengeruk ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Lilian Kasait Rengeruk earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Cross Country Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid her, priced off the card it published.
