ISTANBUL, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Kenyan male athletes swept medals of all colors at the Eurasia marathon held in Istanbul on Sunday.
Stephan Chebogut came first in 2:11:05 and he was followed by Kiprotich Yegon in 2:15:35 and Evans Kiplagat in 2:16:43.
Ethiopian Koren Jelela Yal won women's title with 2:28:06 in the event's 34th edition.
Nearly 13,000 athletes from 88 countries/regions, including Germany, Italy, France and Turkey, came out to hit streets of downtown Istanbul and competed in three categories: the 42-kilometer run, the 15-kilometer run and the eight-kilometer run.
This is an international athletics 1 event organized by the metropolitan 2 municipality in Istanbul, Turkey, every year on a Sunday in October or November since 1979.
Most people eyed the eight-kilometer fun run, the trademark 3 event of the day which attracted around 80,000 racing 4 amateurs.
This year, the Eurasia Marathon was promoted to the gold category by the International Association of Athletics Federations 6, marking an important jump in status.
Turkish Athletics Federation 5 chairman Mehmet Terzi praised the improvement the marathon has made over the years.
"This race has important meaning for me. I have raced here numerous times and had some of my best performances here," said Terzi, a former long-distance champion.
"Comparing today's situation with the times I have competed, I can say that what was left unchanged is that the marathon is still 42,195 kilometers."
The men's and women's winners will each receive 50,000 US dollars. Runners-up will receive 25,000 US dollars and third place will get 15,000 US dollars.
