The Loop leaders crossing through Splashdown with 200 meters to go in the 10k race. The 2018 men's race was decided by seconds with Will McDonough (40:11) of New Caanan, CT edging out Kevin Hoyt (40:15) of Newtown, CT by just four seconds. It was the closest finish in over 15 years at the Loop. (Photo by Bram Wegener)

The Loop’s official starter this year was Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Park Superintendant Jeff Main. Jeff composed an original Leatherman song before the 2012 Loop and has performed it in limited engagements before the 2018 Loop. He sang all three verses and sent the runners off with “and now it’s time to RUN” at the end of the song. (photo by Rob Cummings)

Joe Cloidt, Jeff Koenig, Alan Wegener, Lee Willett, and Jeff Thompson are in front, with Jim "the Clown" Funk photobombing in the back. (Photo by Bram Wegener)
