Fitchburg Civic Days Half Marathon
Fitchburg, MA
July 5, 1998
Results courtesy of the North Medford Club.
Why anyone would want to race in a half-marathon on a hot and humid day in July is a question the answers to which probably defy logic. Why anyone would choose to run two half-marathons on successive hot and humid July days is a question the answers to which most certainly defy logic. This is exactly what Mark Beaton of Fitzwilliam, NH did in completing the Lions Summer Sizzler Half-Marathon in Bedford, NH on July 4th and the Fitchburg Civic Days Half-Marathon in Fitchburg, MA on July 5th.
During the post-race awards ceremony, race director Ken Robichaud announced (somewhat facetiously, we believe) that if the two races are held on successive days next year, anyone who completes both will be given credit for having run a marathon.
