She took to the track for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi and emerged as the 10,000 m Commonwealth champion, succeeding her compatriot Lucy Kabuu. Back on the road, she ran in the Great South Run in October and topped the podium. She saw her performance in the ten-mile race as a stepping-stone to a future in road events: "This was a good result and very important as eventually I will be moving to the marathon".
The following year she did get the opportunity to represent Kenya at a global level, running in the 10,000 m at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics. Momanyi was fourth in a close finish, running a personal best of 30:52.25. She was Kenya's second-best athlete in the race after event winner Linet Masai but managed to beat Meseret Defar, one of the pre-race favourites. Momanyi won the 2009 and 2010 editions of the Würzburger Residenzlauf 10 km race. She returned to the Bangalore 10K in May 2010, but could not repeat her past victory and instead finished in third place.
At the 2008 World Cross Country Championships she finished tenth in the individual race, however, this was not enough to be a part of the Kenyan team, who won silver medals in the team competition.

She won the 2000 and 2005 10K races at the Ottawa Marathon, setting a course record in her second victory.
