The steady rainfall with mid-morning temperatures in the 50s was not a show stopper for the registered field of 20,000 runners for the 20th Anniversary of the Army Ten-Miler. There was a cause for celebration as all of the event record holders (open and master) were in the field, making for an incredible race which ended with Dan Browne breaking his previous race record with a blistering time of 47:32. Fort Bragg upset last year's winning team to take the Commander's Cup with a new record as well. A new addition to the 2004 race, the International Cup where International participants, men or women that are military personnel from a country's Army, Reserve, or Guard components competed against each other.
