Description

MANCHESTER, CT — The 85th running of the Manchester Road Race is in the books, and people are still marveling at the shattering of the women's record by more than a minute by Weini Kelati. As usual, however, this column is featuring the somewhat unsung champions: the winners of each age group for females and males, and a town-by-town listing of the first finishers from each of the 29 towns in Hartford County and 13 in Tolland County. A note before we start: hometowns are as provided by the runners at registration. For example, we know Donn Cabral is from Glastonbury, but he registered from Philadelphia; Thomas Arbeiter is from Ellington, but listed his hometown as Stoughton, Mass.
