The first became a first for Don Humphreys in the Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon, and Jessica Marlier turned a year of personal records into a smashing achievement with a third-place overall finish and the women’s victory Saturday.
Marlier finished just behind her training partner, Ryan Shrum, who finished second for the second year in a row on what could be called his home course, and three-time winner Hugh Enicks — returning to the 26.2-mile race after winning the accompanying half marathon the last three years — led most of the way and finished fourth at 54 years old.
In a rarity for any race, the first four finishers were the overall, masters, female and grand masters winners.
Jason Altman, the Knoxville Marathon director who won the Battlefield Marathon two of the last three years, won the half marathon Saturday in 1 hour, 14 minutes, 9 seconds, and Geno Phillips, another recent winner of the marathon, was second in 1:14:39 with Jacob Bradley third in 1:16:30. Terri Kirkman was the first female and ninth overall in 1:29:57.
