At 30K, the leading group became thinner with Kenyan Joshua Kogo and Ethiopia’s Mitku Tafa remaining with Lemi, Alew and Kiptoo. Lemi, taking advantage of his previous experience on the Mumbai roads, started running fast and was alone in the last five kilometers. However, Minsewo took the lead right from the beginning to the surprise of the rest and maintained her tempo throughout the race. With just 2K to go for the finish, Minsewo emerged as a clear leader with Tsega following her behind in a short distance. Elite winners Hayle Lemi and Aberash Minsewo went home with USD 50,000 top prize from a total prize pot of USD 405,000.
