19 Marathon: Day 1

John Brodhead: Craftsbury Marathon founder, namesake of the Brodhead Challenge, and 2019 33k finisher, bundled against the cold start.

Last Updated: 02.Feb.2019

Day 1 of the Craftsbury Marathon presented by Fischer is in the books. Racers enjoyed ideal classic ski conditions:  stable temperatures, minimal sun, bomber tracks that held up longer than anyone could remember happening before, and lots of fresh snow for easy hardwax. More than a few skiers commented that they had way more kick left at the end of the race than any other 50k they could recall.
