2012 Steamboat Marathon

Steamboat Springs — Editor's note: An earlier version of this story misspelled the names of Simon Zink and Deirdre Pepin. They have been corrected.

With morning temperatures Sunday in the 40s, racers boarded buses to be dropped off at their starting points along the course of the 31 annual Steamboat Marathon.

The 10K, half marathon and full marathon all started at 7:30 a.m., and a little more than 30 minutes later, runners started to trickle in from the 10K.

Matt Davies took first in the 10K, followed by 13-year-old Simon Zink.

Race director Paul Sachs said the start went off without a hitch. "That's always the most nerve racking part," he said.

Top finishers cross line for half marathon

Campbell Ilfrey, of Louisville, was first in the half marathon in 1:18:59. Todd Trapp, of Craig, was second (1:19:37), and Jonathan Wells, of Castle Rock, was third (1:20:22). The first woman across the line at 1:25:26 was Lori Walker, of Henderson, followed immediately by Bean Wrenn, of Boulder, in 1:25:42. Deirdre Pepin, of Steamboat, rounded out the top three for the women at 1:27:59.
