Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Aburi Morang\u2019a and Faith Bett beat favourites to win the senior women and men\u2019s races during the fourth edition of the Nyamira Great Run Series at Kiendege secondary.<\/p>\n

The hotly contested men\u2019s race saw Morang\u2019a emerged winner after crossing the line in 29:51.28 and was closely trailed in second place by secondary school student Felix Boera who finished in 29:32.29. Richard Atuya completed the podium finish in 30:19.29.<\/p>\n

Race favourite Enock Onchari settled for the fourth position in 30:29.15 with Evans Mayaka (30:34.81) finishing fifth. Stephen Arita (30:41.07), who won the Nyamira North 10km race two weeks ago was sixth.<\/p>\n

Bett defeated fancied and Italy-based Teresa Omosa to second place in the women\u2019s 10km cross country event held on Friday in Manga sub county.<\/p>\n

Bett clocked 36:15.52 while Omosa, who returned in the country last week from Italy, crossed the line in 36:50.31 . Third place went to Christine Oigo in 37:14.41.<\/p>\n

Gladys Otero (38:12.15) and Tecla Nyabuto (39:21.94) and Doris Omari (39:98.41) completed the top six places.<\/p>\n

Morang\u2019a, who trains at Mochenwa, said the course was tough. \u201cThe course was not easy because it was muddy and had many barriers. However, I\u2019m happy I emerged top. I\u2019m now focusing on Nyamira South 10km and the Nyamira Great Run 10km race on December 13,\u201d said Morang\u2019a.<\/p>\n

On his part, Onchari said he has not fully recovered after participating in Paris Marathon, where he was a pace setter. Other race favourites Italy-based Dickson Simba (31:03.48) and marathoner Sammy Nyokaye (31:26.93) finished 8th and 9th respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe competition was very stiff today. From what I have seen, there is great improvement from my opponents. I will up my preps ahead of the next race,\u201d added Onchari who won the first two races in the series and finished second in the third race.<\/p>\n

Nyamira Deputy Governor James Gesami was the chief guest during the event. The county government sponsors the five-part series.<\/p>\n

Jane Ghati lived up to expectations, clinching the junior women\u2019s 6km in 20:20.97. She was followed by Mary Nyaboke in second place in 20:46.50 and Winnervine Orwoba in 22:42.74.<\/p>\n

Job Kimonde won the men\u2019s junior 8km in 32:19.79, beating Alfanus Munga (32:48.98) and Vincent Koech (32:48.48) to sercond and third places respectively.<\/p>\n

The fifth race in the series – Nyamira South 10km road race \u2013 will take place on November 19. The race will start at Sironga and end at Nyamira primary.<\/p>\n

The main and final race of the series \u2013 the Nyamira 21km Great Run – will be held on December 13, a day after Jamhuri Day celebrations. The race will start at Chepilat and finish at Ikonge primary school.<\/p>\n
