The 2012 saw Chepkwony begin to participate in higher standard road competitions. She ran a personal best of 68:36 minutes for third place at the Berlin Half Marathon, then won the BIG 25 Berlin race. This earned her a place in the elite selection for the 2012 Berlin Marathon and in her first attempt at the classic distance she managed to finish in 2:30:34 hours, coming in seventh place. Aside from her exploits in Berlin she repeated her win at the Kerzerslauf (setting a course record), won the Grand Prix von Bern 10-miler, and had another win at the Course du Noël.

She competed in smaller scale events in 2010 but was rewarded with numerous victories, including the Lotto Cross Cup Brussels, the Kö-Lauf and Alsterlauf Hamburg 10K runs, half marathons in Hamburg and Altötting, and the Zürcher Silvesterlauf. In 2011, she retained her titles in Brussels, Hamburg and Zürich, as well winning the Course du Noël for a second time. In addition, she won the Murtenlauf and Kerzerslauf races for the first time.

She competed at the 2006 Commonwealth Games but did not make it past the first round. It was that year that she first began to compete in European road races and she won the Spiridon Silvesterlauf, Basler Stadtlauf, Course de l'Escalade, Course du Noël and set a course record at La Corrida Bulloise. She continued to mix road races and track running in 2007 and ran for Kenya in both the 800 m and the 1500 metres at the 2007 All-Africa Games.
