In the women's race, Ethiopian Netsanet Abeyo won in a time of 2:26.10, over four minutes clear of compatriots Fatuma Sado (2:30.20) and (2:30.47).In the men's race Indian athlete Ram Singh Yadav protected a spot in the 2012 Olympics as he beat his individual best on the course by over a minute with a 2:16.59.

The top winners in the two categories got prize money of USD 36,000 each. Tanzania's Dickson Marwa and Simon Kasimili were the early pace setters as they exchanged go ahead position during the first 15 km stretch.
