"Even Marathon Great Chuck Engle gave the Old Farts Course some respect appreciating the EXTREME TOUGHNESS of Fallsburg's BRUTAL 2nd Half of the Race. Phenom Engle cruised through the first half in 1:29:20 en route to what looked like another sub 3:00 hour marathon and a new course record. The Chase Pack which included two time 1/2 marathon champ Robert Cook making his Fallsburg Marathon debut were in hot pursuit. Defending champ Gale Fischer of Battle Creek also entered the race in great shape prepared to defend his title. In the end Chuck Engle met and over came the challenge that is Fallsburg breaking the old course record by over five minutes. Gale Fishcer passed all but one running two minutes under his old record time and finished second. Turner and Geers also beat the heat and the old record in what was a great race. On the womens side Cindy Lewandowski from Sartell Minnesota ran away from a great field which included inaugural champ Nicole Mills of Chicago,Bergeron of Norton Shores, Yerkes of Indiana and the timeless Martha Irwin (age 50) from Grand Rapids. Lewandowski's time of 3:44:45sets the bar for the open and master's course records!"
