Porto Marathon champion Aspel Kiptoo and Leiden Marathon winner Gladys Kerubo Otero are among the 1700 elite runners who are sharpening their spikes for the fifth edition of Nairobi City Marathon (NCM) set for Sunday in the Kenyan capital.
In-form Kiptoo is hopeful of dislodging Benson Murkomen Tunyu, who bagged the men’s title at Uhuru Park last year when he cruised to the tape in 2:08:36.
Likewise, Otero is wary of tactics that will be displayed by Emily Chepkemoi (2:25:45), who is out for a back-to-back victory in the women’s race.
