Kenyan athletes Peter Mwaniki and Lilian Kasait won the international elite men's and women's categories at the Tata Consultancy Services World 10K Bengaluru, respectively.
Mwaniki surged ahead of his compatriot Hillary Chepkwony at the 7.5 km mark, while Kasait distanced herself from Emmaculate Achol at the 7.1 km mark.
Despite their victories, neither Mwaniki nor Kasait were able to break the event records for men (27:38) and women (30:35) on the new race route.
The event received praise for its new route, but the finish line on Cubbon Road lacked the usual excitement of cheering crowds due to limited spectators.
This year marked a departure from previous editions, where the finish line at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium was a grand spectacle with enthusiastic crowds.
