Mustafa Mohamed won the men's 30-kilometer race Saturday at the Lidingoloppet, the world's biggest cross country festival.
The Somalia-born Swede broke away alone with about three kilometers left and crossed in 1 hour, 37 minutes, 10 seconds. It was his third win.
"I'm tired and very happy," said Mohamed.
His specialty is the 3,000-meter steeplechase and he has a fourth-place finish at the 2007 athletics world championships as his best result in that event.
Japhet Kipkorir and Obed Kipkurui, two other foreign-born Swedes, were second and third in 1:37.23 and 1:39.40 respectively.
Kenyan runners, who have dominated the race for the past decade, missed the podium. Defending champion Joseph Kimisi was fourth in 1:39.41 for the best finish by a Kenyan.
The weekend festival on the Stockholm suburb island of Lidingo, held for the 44th time, featured some 30,000 runners from about 30 countries competing in various men's and women's races.
