Los Angeles Marathon champion Stacy Jepkemoi Ndiwa will be seeking another title on American soil when she lines up at the 2023 Boston 10km

Stacy Jepkemoi Ndiwa  the former Commonwealth Games 10,000m silver medalist, who is  also the winner of the second edition of the Iten 15km Road race, said she will be returning to the United States for the title set for June 25th.

However, prior to the Boston event, Ndiwa plans to compete at the National Police Service track and field championships set for this Wednesday at the Moi Stadium as part of her build-up.

She will also feature in the national trials for the World  Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

“I have a very busy schedule this year and I need to accomplish it well by not just participating but also posting better results. This Wednesday,  I will be competing in the 10,000m during the National Police Service Championships as part of my endurance for the Boston 10km race,” said Ndiwa.

Ndiwa, who trains in Iten said she will travel to Nairobi today; rest on Tuesday, and then compete on Wednesday. "I want to make the Police team ahead of the National Trials next month. I want to represent this country in Budapest."

The Mt Elgon-born athlete said after Kasarani on Wednesday, she will embark on her journey for the Boston race.

“Immediately after the Police championships, I will embark on a journey for the Boston race. I want to run well on American soil. I will only have two weeks of recovery and training for the race. But that little training time will not deter my mission because I am emotionally and physically prepared for the battle come June 25,” she added.

The race has been dominated by Kenyans with Fancy Chemutai having won the 2019 edition. The 2020 and 2021 editions were not held due to the coronavirus.
