2011 Report, Results, and Information

It's a tough call to pick the lead for the 2011 MMT. Karl Meltzer won his third MMT while Eva Pastalkova set a new event record, bettering Sue Johnston's 2005 mark by eight minutes. There were 132 finishers in challenging weather. It did not rain that much during the event, but there was plenty of rain before it. It was warm and humid during the day and got a bit cool at night.

The start/finish was dominated by a very large tent that provided a focal point for all activity and a refuge from the storm that nature sent during the awards ceremony. Overall, it was a typical May weekend in Virginia.

Finishing Rate

This year's MMT had the about the same finishing rate as last year. That rate is above average.

Finishing Rate by Sex

In the battle between the sexes, the women came out ahead of the men. Interestingly, there were far fewer women who started the run this year (24) than last (36) even though there were more people in the 2011 entrants field.
