Kenneth Mugara led a Kenyan sweep in the men's event of the Mumbai marathon on Sunday in the city's first international sports event since the militant attacks last November.
Almost 35,000 people participated in five separate events in the annual run through the streets of south and central Mumbai, taking them past two of the three landmarks where Islamic gunmen laid siege, killing 179 people.
Mugara clocked a course record time of 2:11.51 ahead of David Tarus in second and John Kelai, winner of the previous two editions, third.
Ethiopia's Haile Kebebush won the women's race in a time of 2:34.08 with compatriot Marta Marcos second and Kenya's Irene Mogaka third.
