Mary Wacera Ngugi Biography

Mary Wacera Ngugi is one of the most popular and richest Long-Distance Runner who was born on December 17, 1988 in Kenya.

She made her debut on the major European track circuit in 2008, running at the Golden Gala, but was some way off the winner. She won the Kenya Police title in the 5000 m that year. In 2009, she ran track bests of 8:55.89 minutes for the 3000 metres and 15:20.30 minutes for the 5000 m. She defended her Kenyan Police Championship title and also had some success in cross country running, placing at the Lotto Cross Cup de Hannut and winning the Le Mans Cross Country.

It was in 2009 that Wacera met Samuel Wanjiru, the 2008 Olympic marathon champion. The two ran at the same track in Nyahururu and soon bonded, with the pair legally marrying in December 2009. This caused relationship issues as Wanjiru already had two children by Terezah Njeri, whom he had married in a traditional ceremony, but not a legal one. Wacera, Njeri and Wanjiru’s mother all lived on the same street and frequently argued with Wanjiru, who began drinking in excess and ceased his training. Wacera had a child with Wanjiru around August 2010 called Ann, after Wanjiru’s mother. On St. Valentine’s Day in 2011 Njeri and Wanjiru publicly reconciled on television and the runner swore that Njeri was his official wife, rather than Wacera.
