Kirk Millikan of Richmond, VA ran 3:30:44 dressed as a taco. Matt Puffer #725 of Valparaiso, IN finished 42 seconds in front of the treat.

Yuki Kawauchi of Japan was the 2018 winner, Krista Duchene of Canada was third overall and top master among the women. Both might be hoping for wicked weather again in 2019, as they both thrive in bad conditions. (Photo by Karen Mitchell).
