Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Felix Boera stunned seasoned athletes to win the 10km road race during the last edition of the five-part Nyamira Great Run Series on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Boera, 18, a Form Four student at St Peter\u2019s Keberesi won the Nyamira South road race, which was flagged off by Nyamira County Deputy Governor James Gesami at Ting\u2019a on the Kisii-Chemosit road and finished at Nyamira Primary School.<\/p>\n

Beora clocked 28:30.00 to win the title, beating experienced Kenya Defence Forces\u2019 Stephen Arita to second.<\/p>\n

Arita, who won the Nyamira North 10km, one month ago finished in 28:40.34 while Richard Atuya came home third in 29:00.00.<\/p>\n

Fourth-place went to experienced marathoner Sammy Nyokaye in 29:74.00 as Evans Mayaka (29:80.00) and Aburi Morang\u2019a (30:00.45) closed out the top six positions. Italy-based Dickson Simba finished a disappointing eighth.<\/p>\n

Boera said: \u201cI have participated in the series but I have never won. After a lot of disappointments, I went back to the drawing board and trained hard for this event. Beating experienced athletes on a very tough course is not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boera said even though he will participate in the Nyamira Great Run 21km on December 13, his main focus is the Nyanza South cross country in January.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not ripe for half marathon that\u2019s why I want to focus on cross country,\u201d added the student.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s category, Faith Bett, who trains in the neighbouring Bomet County won the third event of the series, clocking 33:34.00. She emerged the winner of the Masaba North 10km and clinched the Manga cross country title last week.<\/p>\n

She beat another experienced runner, Teresa Omosa to second place. Omosa who is based in Italy, finished in 34:06.00 while Nancy Kerage closed the podium places in 35:05.00.<\/p>\n

Christine Oigo (35:16.00) was fourth, followed by Gladys Otero (35:40.00) and Lydiah Nyansikera (35:50.00).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very tough race. The weather was cold. The course was also tough but I\u2019m happy I emerged the winner,\u201d said Bett.<\/p>\n

Bett has now turned her focus on the Nyamira Great Run which will start at Chepilat and finish at Ikonge Primary School.<\/p>\n

Omosa said: \u201cI arrived late for the race and I didn\u2019t have time to do a warm-up. However, I\u2019m okay with the second-place finish.”<\/p>\n

Polycarp Oreri won the men\u2019s 4km race in 22:40.50 followed by Timothy Momanyi (22:56.74) and Jephter Tengeya (23:00.30).<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s 4kms race, Valentine Mokaya clinched the title in 25:30.00 ahead of Lydiah Moraa (25:50.30) and Teresa Okoyo in (26:00.00).<\/p>\n

Races for kids and the elderly were also held. Ends<\/p>\n
