This race is named in honor of Paul Thurston Paul together with is son Bob held the national record for the fastest father-son marathon team finish..

Both Bob and his wife, Delabian Rice Thurston competed this year. The race provides awards for two-member family teams, such as, mother/daughter (M/D) and husband/wife (H/W). Heavy rain and traffic kept the turnout small and delayed the race start by 15 minutes. * denotes runners who took a 15-minute early start.

Ben Danforth held off Karsten Brown by two seconds, and Karen Dickerson won the women's race. It was the concluding race of the 2007 Bunion Derby Series
