Over 22,000 runners took part in the LA Marathon on Sunday.

Fatuma Sado won the women’s race at the 27th annual L.A. Marathon on Sunday, posting a time of 2 hours, 25 minutes and 39 seconds. Simon Njoroge, a 31-year-old from Kenya, won the men’s title, posting a time of 2:12:12 in the 26.2-mile race that began at Dodger Stadium and finished in Santa Monica.

Both runners won $25,000 for their first-place finishes as well as a Honda CRV valued at about $30,000. Because Sado crossed the finish line first overall, she won a $100,000 gender challenge bonus.
