.NET async/await task runs without await

Have one line of code:

var task = await TaskEx.Run(()=>{ Thread.Sleep(100000) });

That works as should be.

But if i write without await:

var task = TaskEx.Run(()=>{ 
    Thread.Sleep(100000);     //breakpoint
});

Why am i reaching breakpoint? Isnt that just a reference to task? I am using .net 3.5 asyncbridge.

I'm guessing the misunderstanding that you might have: TaskEx.Run not only creates a task - it starts it as well. await does not start a task - it just pauses the method until the awaited task completes.
