Summary: 104 runners finished the 32nd edition of the
GMAA marathon in less than ideal weather. In the midst of a field of runners
from across the country, Vermonters took the top three spots in both the
men's and women's races. Rowly Brucken successfully defended his GMM title
from 2001 in 2:56:52. Following Rowly were: 2) Josh Brown in 2:59:19, 3)
Mark Weidner in 3:04:05, 4) Stephane Pilon in 3:04:28 and 5) Chris Blanchard
in 3:06:52. Natasha Tereschenko won the women's race in 3:15:58. Following
Natasha were: 2) Karen Craig in 3:23:13, 3) Shari Bashaw in 3:29:21, 4)
Laura Handy in 3:33:45 and 5) Katherine Boyden in 3:34:01. One age group
record was set this year - 71 year old Donald Taylor's 5:08:22 broke the
Burt Carlson's 1998 time of 5:10:15.
Thanks to the many volunteers who also endured the challenging
weather!
