Atlanta 100K: It was quite a spectacle of sports as the runners shared the roadway with the cyclists.
Jelly Belly's Bernard Van Ulden and Team Tibco's Lauren Franges took the wins in Atlanta on Labor Day, taking their share of a $30,000 combined prize list at the city's U.S. 10k Classic.
Held the same morning as a 10k running race, men race 100k on a fast five-mile loop, finishing on a wide downhill highway. The mens field contained many who had raced in the weekend's USPRO championships in Greenville, South Carolina, including Van Ulden, who was eighth in the USPRO time trial and did not finish the road race.
Women raced 10k, with the same wide-open finish as the men.
Action Images' Kurt Jambretz was in Atlanta to capture all the racing for VeloNews.com.
