"The race, a popular annual (95th annual) event in San Francisco, also included a runner dressed as Barry Bonds chasing another runner dressed as Babe Ruth and a runner wearing a Dick Cheney mask dressed in hunting gear."

Despite being saddled with a handicap of 4 minutes, 40 seconds at the start, Kenya’s Gilbert Okari was still able to catch the leading woman, Tetyana Hladyr of Ukraine, just past the 7-mile mark on the Great Highway to win the overall first prize of $25,000.
