LaGrange, Wisconsin, June 7. Zach Gingerich of Aurora, Illinois broke Eric Clifton’s seemingly unassailable course record at the 14th annual Kettle Moraine 100 Mile Endurance Run, which finished here today. Clifton’s record was set in 1999 when the race started at 3 p.m. and required him to run all night; the race now starts at 6 a.m. Gingerich lead from the start and won by more than two hours.
Jenny Chow of Long Valley, New Jersey won the women’s race, also by a wide margin. Julie Treder of Saint Francis, Wisconsin was second.
