Kenyan Runner Ebenyo Returns to Defend Title in Okpekpe 10km Race

Kenyan runner, Daniel Ebenyo, says he wants to return to Nigeria in May to defend his Okpekpe International 10km Road Race title.

He ran a new 28:28 course record to win the men’s title on his debut last year, and is set to make history as the first man to successfully defend an Okpekpe race title.

Calling Nigeria his second home, the 28 year old Kenyan went on to win the 10,000m silver medal at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, and another silver medal in the half Marathon at the World Road Running Championships in Riga, Latvia.

The Okpekpe International 10km Road Race will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year and organisers say this edition will be the best  in terms of its glamour and entertainment.
