The 39th annual Holyoke St. Patrick's Road Race is just around the corner.

A video produced for the Holyoke St. Patrick's Road Race captures last year's elite men's race. The footage was sped up six times faster than real time, quickly showcasing how quickly a few runners took the lead.

In the final stretch of the 10K course, Alistair Cragg surged forward, and won with a time of 29 minutes 20 seconds.

The video was published on YouTube on March 3 in anticipation of this year's race.

During this year's race, organizers expects new records to be set.

Donoghue added that he's unsure if Cragg or Amy Hastings, the 2013 female champion, will be back to defend their titles.
