Harrisburg, PA, November 13 2022, 50th Harrisburg Marathon—The wind can be nasty in November.  After a prolonged, warm autumn, including the day before the marathon, the northerlies came down with a vengeance along the Susquehanna River, battering the runners on several bridge crossings and elsewhere on the course.

Luke Termorshuizen of Annapolis, MD won from the get-go, having a big lead at half of nearly six minutes. Wearing a red Navy Marathon Team 3shirt, like many in the race, he won in 2:34:26. Jon French of Syracuse, NY ran a negative split and narrowed the gap to the winner by nearly four minutes to place second in 2:36:37. David Herr of Akron, OH ran perfect splits to place third in 2:38:54. Fred Joslyn of Boiling Springs, who won this marathon twice before, was fourth in 2:43:54. Eddie Chen of Ashburn, VA was top master and fifth overall in 2:44:44.

Elizabeth Burch of Bethesda, MD won in 3:13:37, taking the lead around 21 miles. Burch was also top master (for journalism purposes). Meg Griffith of Manheim, PA and the F & M Track Club also moved up a spot to finish second in 3:18:58. Alexandria Russo of Malden, MA was third in 3:21:22. Maureen Peralta of Lancaster was fourth in 3:23:05 and second master. Lindsey Clearfield of Harrisburg was fifth in 3:23:35.

515 runners completed the 50th Harrisburg Marathon. Another 207 completed a new half marathon that was won by Brian Lewis of Ashburn, VA in 1:18:20 and Christina Hunsberger of Boalsburg, PA in 1:41:18; both runners are masters.
