Press Release - Lake Tahoe Marathon - 9/27/10

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

               Weru Wins Again at the Lake Tahoe Marathon

(SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif.)- It was win number three at the Lake Tahoe 
Marathon last Sunday when 31-year-old Kenyan John Weru of Oakland won the 
race for the third time with a time of 2 hours, 59 minutes and 50.31 
seconds.

Weru was also a champion in 2003 with a time of 2 hours, 35 minutes and 5 
seconds, and again in 2004 at 2 hours 37 minutes and 26 seconds. Local 
resident and 52-year-old Margaret Ashe of Olympic Valley took home the 2010 
women's title for the 26.2-mile race with a time of 3 hours, 34 minute and 
29.18 seconds.

Race Director Les Wright couldn't have asked for better conditions, with 
Tahoe's trademark fall weather at a perfect 52 degrees for the start and 
then warming to the high 70s in the afternoon making for a festive party at 
Pope Beach after the races. According to Wright, nearly 3,000 participants 
took part in Lake Tahoe Marathon Race Week, September 22-26, with another 
6,000 friends and family members visiting the region to support the racers.

"The Lake Tahoe Marathon continues to offer a number of exciting events, 
while driving tourism during a traditionally slow time of year," said 
Wright.

According to Wright, there was also a big win in the Great Lake Tahoe Cycle 
Race when Jesse Miller-Smith of Truckee finished the 72-mile race with a 
record-breaking time of 2 hours, 50 minutes and 21.9 seconds, followed 
closely by Justin Rossi of Reno with a time of 2 hours, 50 minutes and 22 
seconds.
