The first ever Grand Ganyon marathon took place on November 15th. There were more than 60 runners involved which for a first effort and only a couple of months of planning, qualifies as a great success.
This is a challenging run along the Hermit Road right on the south rim and into the finish line in Tusayan at the National Geographic Imax Theater.
The winner, with a time of 3:15:42 was Erin Hutchinson of Flagstaff and there were runners from 9 different states and 3 different countries. We're hoping that with the cooporation of the National Park Service that this will become a great annual event for the Grand Canyon. What do you say? Shall we start planning for NEXT year's marathon?
