NAIROBI, Kenya, June 7, 2026 – World record holder Agnes Ngetich romped to victory in the New York Mini 10k road race in what was a Kenyan affair in the Big Apple.
The world 10k record holder clocked 30:07 to cross the finish line first, ahead of Ethiopian Tsigie Gebreselama who took second place in 30:53.
Immediate former defending champion Hellen Obiri, also of Kenya, clocked 31:10 to claim the final place on the podium.
The win was Ngetich’s fourth of the year in what has been a plentiful harvest to the season thus far.
Her last race was on April 4 at the Lille 10km road race in France where she timed 28:58 to cut the tape.
Sunday’s win was also a perfect redemption for Ngetich whose last race in New York did not yield good results.
On that occasion — March 15 — she finished a disappointing 13th after clocking 1:10:25 in the New York Half Marathon.
