Manchester, Conn./WTIC Radio - It was a record setting Thanksgiving Day at the Manchester Road Race Thursday.
Twenty-nine-year-old Kenyan Edwin Kurgat became the first man to run the course in under 21 minutes, finishing in 20 minutes 52 seconds.
"I was really excited for this one," said Kurgat. "I came strategically and I had a strategy and knew what I wanted to do and just executed my race."
It was old hat for the women's champion.
