Newport 10K Sets Another Record

The May 2nd Newport 10K beat last year's registration record, with 1,511 total registrants. It also had the strongest American Elite field yet. Runners came from across the country to take part in the area's flattest course showcasing stunning Manhattan views. Donn Cabral of Annandale, NJ won the race with a time of 29:39. Brianne Nelson of Colorado was the first woman across the finish line, with a time of 32:59. The Gully Hubbards gave a live performance, which made the 10am post-race party even more exciting. Congrats to all the finishers, who gave their support to the Jersey City Medical Center - Barnabas Health.
