Elisha Barno Makes It 5 Grandma’s Marathon Victories, Hagans Unseats Lindwurm in Women’s Race

Barno now has a marathon-leading five career victories.

DULUTH, Minn.- After being inducted into the Grandma’s Marathon Hall of Fame on Friday, Elisha Barno followed up that honor by winning the full Grandma’s Marathon on Saturday.

Barno now has a marathon-leading five career victories.

He would finish with a time of 2:09:14, eight seconds short of the record.

“I think it’s like a blessing because to win a marathon for five years is not easy and I try to think it’s a blessing,” says Barno.

In the women’s race we have a new champion. Lauren Hagans would hold off Dakotah Lindwurm by just over a minute.

“I thought I could, I did not by any means think it was in the bag, I mean Dakotah’s phenomenal and there’s been a lot of girls in the race I thought could win, but I thought if I had a good day and just stayed calm and patient, it’s a marathon who knows what could happen and really happy to have pulled off the win,” says Hagans.

Lindwurm was vying for her 3rd straight marathon win.
