Hartmark Does Rare Double

Park Point 5-mile champion, Eric Hartmark seems to have used Friday's race as a "warm-up" for longer stuff. Instead of cheering on a friend as planned, Hartmark decided to run the Half-Voyageur Trail Marathon on Sunday. He won.

“I was going to run a long run this weekend and these trails (through Spirit Mountain and Jay Cooke State Park) have always intrigued me, but this was really a last-minute decision,” Hartmark, told the Duluth News Tribune. “There were some stretches I was really concentrating on the footing and just hoped I didn’t miss any (pink) ribbons (indicating the path of the course). I was glad I didn’t get lost.”
