Chris Estwanik claimed a record equaling fifth consecutive May 24 Half Marathon title today.

The American runner broke the tape in 1:08.49 to finish 24 seconds outside of his own race record.

Estwanik now joins Ed Sherlock and Kavin Smith as the only runners to win the annual road running spectacle five times on the trot.

Bermuda's own Sean Trott and Jay Donawa rounded off the podium finishers.

Trott came home in 1:14.48 to claim second followed by the evergreen Donawa who stopped the clock at 1:17.04 to take third place honors respectively.
