Spotlight: Marathon Runners

Sunday, April 29th marked the inaugural running of the Eugene Marathon. This was the first marathon held in track town since 1982, when Nike last held it's annual OTC marathon. There were 1,500 runners in the event and two of them work at the LaVelle Wine Bar & Bistro. Dawn Merrill, finishing 1,199 overall with a time of 5:03:10 was running in her first marathon ever! Rosemarie Downey-McCarthy, who fills in for us at the bistro from time to time, finished 693 overall with a time of 4:03:20. Also in the race was our chef's wife Catherine Ely who finished 1,065 overall with a time of 4:42:04. Congratulations to you all!
