Hellen Obiri and Gabriel Geay emerged as the victors in the women’s and men’s B.A.A. 10K 2023 races on Sunday, June 25th. Obiri, hailing from Kenya, previously secured the titles of the Boston Marathon 2023 and the New York Half Marathon earlier this year. This was her first B.A.A. 10K crown. Geay, on the other hand, clinched his second title after his triumph in 2018.
Obiri completed the women’s race in 31:21, making a strong comeback from her defeat at the Mastercard New York Mini 10K on June 10th. The two-time world 5000m champion battled hard in the humid conditions to hold on and cross the finish line ahead of her Kenyan compatriots. Stacy Ndiwa secured second place with a time of 31:25, while Sheila Chepkirui finished fourth with 31:27.
Emily Sisson, the USA’s record holder for the marathon and half-marathon, showcased an exceptional performance, setting a new personal best of 31:35 and securing fourth place in the women’s race.
In the men’s B.A.A. 10K race, Tanzania’s Gabriel Geay emerged as the winner, completing the course in 27:49. Geay, the 2018 champion, outperformed a pair of Kenyan runners, Edwin Kurgat (28:01) and Alex Masai (28:09), to claim the title.
Rounding up the top five finishers in the men’s contest were Tsegay Kidanu from Ethiopia, who finished with a time of 28:18, and Diego Estrada from Mexico, who finished with a time of 28:19.
