Whistler’s Gary Robbins finished 20 th overall, completing the race in six hours, 53 minutes and 37 seconds. Mark Fearman tied North Vancouver’s Ean Jackson for 24 th place with a time of 7:08:18.
According to Robbins, Jackson convinced Fearman and him to enter the race, and ran with the pair the whole way.
"He easily could have been top 10 but was more concerned with making sure we finished the race," said Robbins. "As I said, neither of us had run more than 35 km before race day."
