Josephat Bett of Kenya Police finished fourth in 30:33.8, while Peter Emase of Prisons and Moses Koiyatei of KDF took the fifth and sixth positions respectively.
Marion Kibor of Kahawa had an easy win in the senior women 10km race, finishing with a time of 34:15.6 after leading from gun to tape.
"I am happy with the win because this is my first race after coming back from maternity leave. My aim is now to prepare for the KDF Cross Country Championship and hopefully go on to make the (Kenyan) team to Africa Championships," Kibor said.
