The race started at a rather slow pace, but with constant spurts that sent most of the leading group into a 'tilt'. The race then heated up around the 17th kilometer, when the real head-to-head between the Eritrean and the Kenyan began, resolved only in the last 500 meters, when Solomon placed the decisive draw.
Third place, surprisingly, for the 24-year-old Italian, of Ethiopian origins, Ademe Cuneo who finished in 1h03'20 ", just 13" from his personal best. 
Fourth place for the other blue Abdoullah Bamoussa, while retirement for Giuseppe Gerratana.

Behind her, detached by a handful of seconds, the Rwandan Clementine Mukandanga, while third, with a delay of more than 3 minutes, came the Burundian Cavaline Nahimana.
The women's race, well piloted by the hares with an intermediate lap of 34'08", was more regular than the men's with the Kenyan and the Rwandan in the lead right from the start, who ran together up to the last kilometer , when Jepkurgat stretched out, shrugging off Mukandanga.
The protagonists of the shortest race of 9.350 meters were the 19-year-old Venetian and middle-distance runner of Assindustria Padova Thomas D'Este (29'15") and the 'Aristide Coin' diletta Moressa (33'09"), both winners last October also of the 10k combined with the Venicemarathon.
Nice gesture of fair play in the Alì Family Run, where 15-year-old Francesco Zamuner from Ivrea (companion of his marathon dad) waited for the arrival of the youngest Giulio Coppe (9 years old, from Jesolo) to cross the finish line together.
