FOG BLOG NEW BRUNSWICK LOG: 2 RECORDS BROKEN AT THE FREDERICTON MARATHON:

2 records broken at sold-out Fredericton Marathon Volunteers, runners deem day a success even in cool, windy weather Stan Chaisson won the Fredericton Marathon for the third year in a row on Sunday. The cool wind wasn't going to slow down marathon runners in Fredericton on Sunday.

They said it was good weather for running — on a favourably flat track — at the 45th Fredericton Marathon.

Stan Chaisson of Charlottetown won his third Fredericton Marathon in a row. He also broke his own race record, finishing in two hours, 24 minutes and 40 seconds.

He said he comes back each year because he loves the course and it's a well-organized race close to home. "You get out on the trail and I find it's so peaceful out there," said Chaisson.

"You can get in a really good rhythm on this course because there's so little ups and downs. I also like that you do get to see, well, spectators, but then other competitors along the course. It's motivating to hear people cheering for you."

The top female finisher was Sarah Mulcahy of Fort Kent, Maine. She finished fourth overall in a time of 2:53:30.

Her time breaks the female record previously held by Paula Keating of Miramichi, N.B. Keating had the record since 2014.

Evan Arsenault of Quispamsis, N.B., was not far behind Chaisson. He finished second overall in 2:40:53 and placed first in his age group.
