On Sunday morning, 32-year-old Leonard Korir of Colorado Springs, became the first American to win the Falmouth Road Race since 1988.
“This race, I’ve been trying, like five times,” Korir told Letsrun.com. “I have to win it. If I don’t win it today, I might not [have the chance to] win it again.”
Korir executed the race flawlessly, letting a lead pack that included Sambu and Cheserek set the pace for the first four miles. At the 10K mark, Korir and Sambu had broken away from Cheserek—who had dropped 20 seconds behind them in third—with Korir surging ahead of Sambu by seven seconds. Korir unleashed his kick then, widening the gap on Sambu to 20 seconds; the Kenyan runner was too tired to respond, so Korir closed on the oceanside finish line with no other runners in sight.
