Open Women’s Field Summary
11 women ran sub 60 minutes in 1988….establishing a record that has been threatened the past several years as 9 or 10 women have recently bested that traditional mark of excellence. Last year Sara Dunham made the final podium spot with the fastest 5th place time in race history – 55:44. This years women’s field is expected to require a similar fast performance to make the podium and the 1988 Sub 60 record will once again be challenged.
