The marathon world record holder clocked 59 minutes, 0.9 seconds - a performance only he has bettered over the distance.
Tergat aims to surpass his best result in London when he finished as runner-up to Khalid Khannouchi in 2002.
Compatriot Susan Chepkemei looked good for London as she won the women's race.
The Kenyan was back in action after Athletics Kenya reversed a one-year ban it imposed on the 29-year-old runner-up for failing to turn up to a cross-country team training camp.
Chepkemei raced to victory in 68 mins 49 secs, with fellow Kenyan Margaret Okayo 30 seconds behind and Asha Gigi of Ethiopia third in 69mins 59secs.
