13th Donnelly's Fast Five
Fitchburg, MA
November 2, 1997
Race Photos
While time inexorably marches on, some things seem not to change. Back in March 1991, at the 12th running of Stu's 30K, defending Stu's 30K winner Rich Marion had opened up about a one minute lead on Bob Hodge near the 8-mile mark. Suddenly, Marion stopped, laid down on the ground and proceeded to do a series of stretching exercises as Hodge passed by him.
Within a mile or so, Marion, having finished his stretching, retook the lead only to once again stop and stretch. And once again, Hodge gained the lead. Somewhere near the 12-mile mark, Marion passed Hodge one more time and, shortly thereafter, went into his stopping and stretching mode.
This time, as Hodge once again went by the Marion, he vowed to himself that he would not relinquish the lead. Hodge kept his promise and went on to top Marion, 1:42:02 to 1:44:08.
It turns out that Marion was fighting a sciatic condition and used the stop/stretch routine to try to alleviate the problem.
This brings us to this year's 13th running of Donnelly's Fast Five. With about a mile to go in the race, Marion had opened up a sizeable lead on Ken Carabba and Brad Fors, when he came to a stop, laid down on the ground and began a series of stretching exercises. Keeping a watch for the encroachment of his pursuers, Marion finished his routine and cruised home to an easy win.
