This was Gebre Gebremariam of Ethiopia’s first marathon. And he won it. Gebremariam not only won his first marathon, he won the biggest marathon in the world with more than 40,000 runners. The grand prize for his efforts and achievement is $130,000.

Gebremariam ran the 26.2 mile race with an unofficial time of two hours and eight minutes (2:08:14).

That means Gebremariam ran, on average, each mile in just under five minutes. Wow.

Gebremariam’s time is the fastest recorded time since Rodgers Rop ran the NYC Marathon in 2:08:07.

Kenya’s Emmanuel Mutai finished second with a time of 2:09:17. Kigen Kipkosgi, also of Kenya, finished third with a time of 2:10:39.

The 2009 NYC Marathon champion Meb Keflezighi, the first American to win the NYC Marathon since 1982, finished in sixth with a time of 2:11:30.
