Photos: Inland Trail Marathon

Mile one of the Inland Trail Marathon


Runners enjoyed favorable fall weather, sunny and clear 40s with light breeze, at the Inland Trail Marathon on Sunday in Elyria, OH. Andrea enjoyed the half marathon as a training run. The day was my turn to cheer and spectate, as well as get in a few easy miles and take pictures. This diabolically straight course -- an out-and-back on a straight bike path for 12.5 miles, with a half mile on road -- produced fast times. I witnessed a few PRs out there.

Click here for link to my album from the day. Photos at following intervals: one mile mark of the marathon and 5k, mile 8.5 of half marathon, and mile 21.5 of the marathon.

Per MarathonGuide.com front page report:

John Paull, 44, the runner-up in 2006 and third place finisher in 2007, won the 2008 Inland Trail Marathon when he crossed the finish line in 2:53:35. Eric Hanscel, 31, finished second in 2:58:17. Andrew Brosius, 30, was third in 2:58:35. Theresa Walton, 38, was the first female to finish in 3:29:37. Cam Grahl, 34, was the runner-up in 3:30:56. Kristin Kachnowski, 37, was third in 3:35:38.

Congrats, JP.

The Inland Trail was built on an old railroad bed in Lorain county
