Birdsall -- the 1984 state champion from Wasilla High -- won the men's event in 29 minutes, 30 seconds. Cole Talbot was second in 29:37 and Jesse Peterson third in 30:12.

Quinn -- a perennial race winner in Anchorage footraces -- was first among women in 32:31. Holly Brooks was second in 35:28 and Eeva Latosuo third in 35:44.
