Vanderlei Lima of Brazil was leading the race by as much as 29 seconds until he was attacked by a man who ran from the crowd in the 23rd mile. Lima returned to the race and finished third. He was passed quickly by Baldini and later Keflizighi. The attacker was identified as Cornelius Horan, an Irish citizen who disrupted the 2003 British Grand Prix formula one auto race by walking on to the track.
