  • 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.
