Benson Tunyo Murkomen and Emily Chepkemoi are the winners of the fourth edition of the Nairobi City Marathon (NCM) held in the Kenyan capital on Sunday.

Murkomen braved the chilly weather, clocking 2:08:36 to lift the cutthroat men's race as a determined Justus Limo (2:08:42) and Albert Kangogo (2:09:06), who breathed heavily on his neck, finished in that order.
