Rain soaked streets were merely a footnote as the Boston 10K added another lane of summer racing as the roads lead to a busy fall marathon season and world championships.

The mix of elites and the general field trekked the same course that cruised along the Charles River and passed through the Boston Marathon finish line in its closing stages.

And at the conclusion, Sharon Lokedi found herself in familiar territory that echoed her Boston Marathon win in April, crossing the line in 31:39 in the women's field while Gabriel Geay won the men's race in 28:14.
