ZHENGZHOU -- Chelimo Eliaskemboi from Kenya won the men's title of Zhengkai Marathon on Sunday in Central China's Henan province with 2 hours 13 minutes and 53 seconds.

"It's my first time to (run) the ZhengKai Marathon. Clear weather and flat road helped me to win. It doesn't reach my best record of 2 hours and 11 minutes, but I'm also very happy to win," said Chelimo Eliaskemboi, who pocketed 12,000 US dollars in prize money.

Naibei Emmanuel and Korir Jonathan, both from Kenya, finished in 2:14:05 and 2:14:25 respectively.

Mukhwana Ednah from Kenya won the women's title in 2:30:24.

The Zhengkai Marathon was inaugurated in 2006, which is the only marathon race in China connecting two ancient capitals Zhengzhou and Kaifeng. It attracted almost 50,000 runners from all over the world this year.
