The open men's 10K race had only a few, but tough, competitors. Richard Luettchau took the lead from the start, but Theron Kissinger kept within striking distance for most of the race. With about a mile to go, Luettchau was in complete control. Luettchau stated after the race that with a few laps to go he knew he had it as long as he didn't do anything stupid. Cruising into victory, Leuttchau looked confident and smooth. Michael Batholomew also competed, however as a 50K specialist, the speed got to him and he cramped up midway through the race.

Richard Luettchau knew if he walked smart he had the
race and the coveted gold watch won.
Crossing the line, Luettchau jesters with the excitement of victory.

Crodus keeled over with about 100 meters to go, tossed his preverbial cookies, stumbled, but managed to hold off Dan Andresean to maintain second place.
