Nairobi — Kenya’s Mary Ngugi-Cooper braved rainy conditions to win the women’s half marathon at the Great North Run in Newcastle on Sunday morning.

The 2014 World Half Marathon silver medalist clocked 1:07:40 in first place, ahead of the Ethiopian pair of Senbere Teferi (1:07:41) and Megertu Alemu (1:07:42) in second and third place respectively.

Ngugi-Cooper admitted the wet conditions had put her to the test but was glad to have found a way around it for the victory.

“What a great race to be part of. Think my years of training in Leeds had prepared me well for the typical British conditions. Really proud to share the podium with my friends from across the border,” she said.

The race was her third of the year after the RomaOstia Half Marathon and the Boston Marathon in Italy and the United States respectively.

She clocked 1:07:38 to win in Italy before missing out on podium in Boston after running 2:24:24 in sixth.

Ngugi-Cooper also gave props to the level of competition witnessed in elite women’s race.

“Shout out to all the amazing women who made up this race. They all inspire me and our @nalatrackclub girls every time we watch them race around the world, and it was an honour to line up with them this morning,” the 2016 World Half Marathon bronze medalist added.

It was a double delight for Kenya as Abel Kipchumba clocked 59.62 to win the men’s race.

Great Britain’s Marc Scott clocked 1:01:11 in second as Norwegian Sondre Moen came third in 1:01:25.
