Matt Folk, front, a resident of Oregon, Ohio, collected $1,000 as the 10K winner of the 2009 Peace Race, while Elijah Nyabuti walked away from the awards table without a $500 check as runner-up because of a rule in which international runners must win in the open race or masters categories or go home empty.
