M40 Bruce Raymer (L) duked it out with M30 Mario Iozzo for most of the 8K course.

Bruce put the hammer down with 1K to go finishing in 26:38. Mario finished in 26:42

They pushed each other to both break Course Records - The M40 was 27:34 by Troy Cox in 2008, and the M30 was Charlie Bedford's 26:53 in 2004.
