The Detroit Marathon in Detroit, MI on October 18, 1992

 (I started writing about Nancy Mieszczak’s 32-year-old races back in 2010. I thought they’d been too much fun to be enjoyed just once; and, maybe just a little bit, I wanted to show The Kids how the Old Folks used to roll back in the days of yore. Anyways, I initially crammed a bunch of her races into one continuing post. Lately I’ve been writing them up one by one. If you’re interested, you can start from the beginning here.)

Distance: 26.214 MI

Time: 3:02:12

Place: 2

Prize: $1000

∑ Career Earnings: $29,079

 

The Skinny: Karen Hubbard won. 

 

Coming next time: After her 12 year run – pun not by accident – Nancy’s “dash for cash” career came to an end in Detroit. Expect maybe some small summation a bit down the road.
