The smile, once again, said it all, as the ADK race director Joel Friedman could hardly contain himself.

For the umpteenth time in recent memory, the clouds aligned and guaranteed a PERFECT DAY TO RUN, whether if it was the full, half or relay marathon on Sunday.

 A HUGE SCHROON LAKE CHEER FOR Sabine Fischer-Daly of Ithaca, NY who was the female marathon winner in a time of 3:14:48

AND FOR THE “MATES” : Jay List of Holland, NY was the male marathon winner in a time of 2:40:57. All of the results are here.

The smiles all over the course --  from every spectator and volunteer worker  -- made it a magical experience for all.

“This day is perfect…how did we get it,?” said Joel Friedman, looking to the skies.
