It was a day for fast times and setting PRs, as we've been told by many runners. Plus, I'm happy to report that we sent a list of over 450 Boston Qualifiers to the BBA. So congratulations to Rock runners for your successes and a big thanks to the thousands of selfless volunteers who helped make it happen. By the numbers, there were more than 4 ,500 finishers in the marathon and over 8,400 finishers in the half. Runners came from 49 states and 19 different countries. Combining the two races, we had an even split of 50% male and 50% female. Looking at each race individually men outnumbered women in the full 64% to 36%, while women outnumbered men in the half 57% to 43%. Thanks to The Dallas Morning News for providing all their coverage from race day in this book. A trio of Kenyans came to town with hopes of setting a new course record and walking off with additional incentive money. They trained hard specifically for this race and worked together in the early stages to ensure a winning time. Logan Sherman, a local elite athlete running his first full marathon was the unknown factor - capable of a winning time but the odd man out among the experienced Kenyans. From the beginning, the pace was exceptionally quick leaving little doubt as to who the challengers for first place would be. Edward Tabut broke away from his two partners and won the marathon with a PR of 2: 16.53, while our female winner, Rose Jebet also set a new PR winning with a 2:48.21. Logan Sherman ran a good race and finished 5th; he went on to win the Cowtown Marathon two months later. The Men's Half Marathon was won by Edward Muange in a time of 1 :05.02 while the Women's Half Marathon was won by Hyvon Ngetich in a time of 1: 18:24. The Katy Trail finish is conducive to fast times and PRs, and we had plenty this year! The 2010 Rock will take place on the first or second Sunday of December. Why no specific date? Big changes are in the works for the 41st running to make the race even better! I'll be back in touch soon with more specifics. Thank you for being with us in 2009. You Rock!
