Before I get to the results, I would like mention a very scary side story to the marathon. A race volunteer was seriously injured when he was struck by a car. He was crossing the street to begin working the aid station at about the 13.2 mile mark on Bailey Cove Road. When he stepped from the curb, he was struck and very seriously injured. The latest information I have is that he is in critical condition. Read more here. Our prayers are with him and his family that he will make a full recovery. The police, EMTs, and the race directors handled this emergency very well.
The overall winner was Daniel Kirwa of Searcy, AR by way of Kenya in 2:20:05. The female winner was also the female masters winner, Jen Hitchings of Sacramento, CA in 2:51:27. The masters winner was Scott Fanning of Lebanon, TN in 2:39:29. The top local finishers were Josh Whitehead in 2:31:37 and Candace Jacobs in 2:57:16. View the results in a variety of detail at the RCM website.
