Notes: Races since 2006 have had an elite women early start. The 2015 race was rerouted between miles 4 and 6 due to a traffic accident,
making the distance roughly 9.4 miles (15.1 km). The 2019 race was 240 feet (73 meters) short due to misplacement of a semi-circle of cones at a turnaround point in the fourth mile.
