The challenges that Mount Marathon featured this year weren't enough for the four champions of the event this week:
SEWARD, Alaska - The 95th running of Mount Marathon held nothing back in terms of weather and conditions, with mud, poor footing, and wind playing a major factor.
“My competition is really good, I know that. I knew it was going to be hard and that I was going to have to work for it.” “It was fun,” Marvin said. “I was like, ‘Lord, if you want it to be muddy, at least make it epic,’ so it was epic, it was a mud mess.” At 42 years old, she became the second oldest woman ever to win the race. Marvin has placed in the top three in all 10 Mount Marathons she has entered.
“I’m just stoked to have pulled this off and be healthy,” Norris said in the finish line chute. “I was a little discouraged early on because I took, basically two wrong turns, had a little bit of a ’What am I doing?’ ... then I kind of found my groove and enjoyed the race.”
