On what was easily the hottest and most humid day of the year to date and the hottest in the long history of the Wachusett Mountain Road Race, two course records were set. Eric Morse, the 1997 winner, took control early in the race, built a 100+ yard lead by the two-mile mark and went on to an 18 second margin of victory over Dave Dunham, the 1998 winner and the previous course record holder. Morse's time of 24:14 bettered Dunham's existing 1996 mark by 21 seconds.

Running Wachusett Mountain for the first time, first-place women's finisher Julie Peterson covered the 4.3-mile course with its 1095-foot elevation gain in 29:24, obliterating Margo Webber's 1996 course record of 30:06. Madalena Boudreau and Webber placed 2-3 behind Peterson. Kiersten Lippman, Linda Urko, Jane Levesque and Ilga Moore placed first respectively in the female junior, master, senior and veteran divisions.

Len Hall, placing eighth overall, edged Bob Hodge to win the men's masters' competition. Hodge was the first master a year ago. Other divisional winners included David Marcinowski (junior), Sumner Brown (senior) and Gerald Barney (veteran). Brown was also the first-place senior in 1998.

Over the years, the race has consistently had between 220 and 250 finishers. This year's total of 243 was exactly the same as that of last year.
