Woods Hole to Falmouth Heights, MA
Sunday, August 9th 10:00 am
Certified point-to-point course (MA04015RN with rolling hills)
Finishers: 4800 men + 4143 women = 8943 total (race record; up from 8712 last year)
Course Records: Men, 31:08, Gilbert Okari (KEN) 2004; Women, 35:02, Lornah Kiplagat (KEN), 2000
Convincing victories by both Tilahun Regassa and Mamitu Daska; Regassa won by 22 seconds and Daska by 51 seconds. Also noteworthy were Rebecca Donaghue's second place, and Colleen De Reuck's fifth place, finishes in the women's race. Donaghue ran a personal best at the Beach to Beacon 10-K the week before, while De Reuck, 45, continues to race impressively for her age. She won Falmouth in 1993 and 1997. It's amazing that 12 years later she can still finish in the top-5
