Summary Picture

The 2022 MHR Marathon and Half set a record itself by setting three new course records!

The winner of the Mohawk Hudson Marathon, Joseph Whelan, other than setting a course record, qualified for U.S. Olympic Trials by nearly 4 minutes!

Records were set in the MHR Half Marathon. Casey Ellis (1:05:32) broke Lou Serafini’s 2014 record 16 seconds and Lianne Farber (1:15:22) smashed Samantha Roecker’s 2019 time (1:16:58) by 1 minute 22 seconds.
