Philemon Rono, a two-time Toronto Marathon champion and 2009 world cross country junior bronze medallist clocked 62:23.6 to win ahead of Davis Kiprotich who finished second in 63:11.7 and Wesley Kimutai who completed the race in 63:15.0. The two counties of Elgeyo Marakwet and Uasin Gishu transverse road race aimed at conserving Kaptagat forest.

Rono took an early lead after 5km mark and led to the tape. Philemon trains in Kaptagat with Eliud Kipchoge, a world athlete champion. Running on home ground where he trains daily was a pleasant experience for Rono. He felt good to be cheered by his people lining the road. However, Rono admits that Kaptagat Forest Half Marathon was competitive.

To the Course Director, Patrick Birgen, the participation of the world-famed athletes raised the Half Marathon a notch higher the expected. At the finish point, Rono was received by his Global Sports Communication training companions Geoffrey Kipsang Kamworo, a three-time world half marathon champion, who was the ambassador of the event; also former Olympic and world marathon champion Stephen Kiprotich, Amsterdam marathon champion Bernard Kipyego among others.
