Helah Kiprop Jelagat (born 7 April 1985) is a Kenyan long-distance runner who competes in the half marathon and marathon. Her personal bests for the events are 67:39 minutes and 2:27:29 hours, respectively.
She has won the Berlin Half Marathon, the Egmond Half Marathon and the Zwolle Half Marathon. She was the 2014 winner of the Seoul International Marathon and came fourth at the 2013 Berlin Marathon.
Kiprop had her first win in a European road race in Nogent-sur-Marne in 2005, running 32:55 minutes at the local 10K run. She began training with GS Valsugana Trentino, an athletics club in Trento, Italy, and made a successful half marathon debut in September 2005, taking third place at the high profile Lille Half Marathon with a time of 74:02 minutes. She ran for the club in track races in 2006 and 2007, but did not have the same levels of performance as she did on the roads. She won the Corrida di San Geminiano 15K race in 2007. She returned to Kenya in 2008 and at the end of the year won the Tuskys Wareng Cross Country.
A series of road victories came in 2009. A personal best of 69:29 minutes to win at the Nice Half Marathon ranked her in the top forty for the event that year. She won at the Merano-Lugundo Half Marathon, the Cuneo Run and the 10K de la Provence in Marseilles. She had a close battle with Meseret Mengistu at the Marseille-Cassis Classique Internationale, but ended up in second place to her Ethiopian rival.
