Led by Michael Wardian's third place finish, the team placed five men in the top 25 runners overall. Wardian's time was 6 hours, 49 minutes, 18 seconds, just 5 minutes behind the champion, Shinji Nakadai of Japan. The other American men were Chikara Omine (9th), Matt Woods (12th), Chad Ricklefs (14th), Joe Binder (25th), and Todd Braje (DNF). The USA women were not able to finish the mandatory minimum of three runners. Meghan Arbogast finished in fifth place overall, ahead of teammates Carolyn Smith (9th) and Melanie Fryar (DNF). The World Masters Association conducted its championship race concurrently with the World Championship in Gibraltar.
