Ten years ago, the Chilmark Road Race was small. Barely two hundred showed up for the inaugural run. But even this number was more than organizers expected, as they busily hand printed extra numbers and apologized for running out of T-shirts.
Charlie Ortmans won the 45th Chilmark Road Race on Saturday with a time of 14:46. The first woman to break the tape was five-time winner Marian Johnson with a time of 17:49.
Adding to a long list of summer cancellations due to the pandemic, road race organizers announced Wednesday that the race will not be held as usual this year.
