2019 Grandma’s Marathon Recap + Photos [GALLERY]

The 2019 running of Grandma's Marathon and Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon are in the books, and it was a historical day. While weather conditions were generally clear and sunny, cool temperatures and dry conditions allowed for good races and a couple records falling. In the wheelchair division, both the men's and women's winners set new course records.

In the men's division, Aaron Pike won his third straight Grandma's, easily setting a new course record at 1:20:59, nearly two minutes faster than the previous record. The 2019 runner-up, Pat Monahan, set a new second-best time on the course at 1:22:23. The previous record of 1:22:55 was set back in 2012.

In the women's division of the wheelchair marathon, Susannah Scaroni destroyed the previous course record of 1:36:39 by 5:57. Scaroni's time of 1:30:42 also stands nearly 6 minutes faster than the world record set in 2018; but the Grandma's course's elevation drop is outside of the allowed standards for world record standards, and thus is not a new world record. The the first and second runners up Tatyana McFadden and Katrina Gerhard also had historical times this year. McFadden's time of 1:31:30 now standing as the second fastest course time in the women's event, and Gerhard's time of 1:36:26 now stands as the third fastest ever course time in the event.
