Kiprop won the race in 27:02.3 with Kemboi finishing second in 27:03.0. The duo are among prominent athletes who have entered the Sirikwa Classic Cross Country that will be held tomorrow at Lobo Village.
Action will start at 9am with the 2km race for 13-15 year boys and ends with elite men’s race at 3.10pm.
The Sirikwa Classic is the second WA Gold Tour cross country held in Kenya in the world athletics calendar.
Who will be the new Absa Sirikwa Classic World Cross Country Gold Tour men’s 10km champion?
That is the question on everyone’s lips with a new winner certainly guaranteed after the defending champion Daniel Ebenyo Simiu opted not to race and instead concentrate on his preparations for the Seoul Marathon next month.
