September 10, 2023, Harrisburg, PA—Fred Joslyn of Boiling Springs, PA tuned up for his upcoming Berlin Marathon by winning the Harrisburg Half Marathon in 1:13:47. Joslyn was running seriously and opted not to take the Fireball this year as he often does on the home stretch.  Nicole Schleger of Lewisburg had an even more convincing win with a nearly 5-minute win in 1:21:32. Only eight men finished ahead of Schlegel.

Scott McGeary of Harrisburg ran a solid race for second overall, finishing in 1:14:57.  Cem Aslan of Camp Hill was third and top master in 1:17:41.  Johnny Guignet of Center Valley, PA was fourth in 1:18:58.  Jake Thorsen of Lancaster was fifth in 1:19:05. 

Michelle Foster of Reinholds was second overall in 1:26:11. Joanna Hayes of Dillsburg was third in 1:29:42. Michelle Chaffin of Mountville, PA was fourth and top master in 1:30:15.  Hollie Border of Williamsport was fifth in 1:31:57.

There were 545 total finishers in the half marathon and another 197 in a 10k that we really didn’t cover. Dan Forry of Columbia 33:15 and Allie Guillard of Camp Hill 36:58 won the 10K.
