Blake Heren of Boulder blasts down the final hill of the
Leadville Trail Marathon in route to a commanding victory. His
time of 3:51:50 was 13 minutes faster than the next finisher.
Lynette Clemons of Cripple Creek was the first female to finish
the marathon, running 4:34:13.

battle for third and fourth place over the final mile. Jason
would pull away in the end, crossing the line in 4:12:10 to
Jeff's 4:12:30.
Runners enjoyed the scenery of the old mining heritage of
Leadville throughout the race. From the summit of Mosquito
Pass (the turnaround point at 13,100') they also enjoyed
outstanding vistas of Colorado's two highest peaks, Mt. Elbert
and Mt. Massive, along with Turquoise Lake to the west of
Leadville.
Joseph Manilafashia of Denver was the winner in the Heavy Half
Marathon (about 25K). This race went from downtown Leadville to
the summit of Mosquito Pass and back, bypassing the
circumnavigation of Ball Mountain that the marathon runners
did. Joe's winning time was 2:13:00.
Emily Brzozowski of Colorado Springs was the first female
finisher in the Heavy Half Marathon, running 2:25:00.
