GMCF athletes have been making their mark in competitions lately, demonstrating their speed, strength and endurance across a wide range of disciplines! Let’s take a look at some recent success stories:
The Browns Go to Georgia
GMCF ENDURANCE athletes Stephen & Hannah Brown took on the Macon Music Half Marathon in Macon, Georgia recently, both finishing with impressive personal achievements. Stephen was the 9th place finisher overall and 2nd place in his age group, in a highly competitive field of nearly 400 runners. Despite the high heat and humidity, Hannah crossed the finish line in 17th place in her age group.
Cotnoir Crushes the VT 100
GMCF member Jess Cotnoir ran the 2025 Vermont 100 Endurance Race earlier this year, with a total time of 27:30:41.1 – she was the 29th female overall and 15th in her age group! Jess has done several Ultra distance races from the North East out to the Mid West, in preparation for this feat. Her perseverance in the race was a testament to the attentive dedication to her training. She crushed it!
Chicago Hyrox Excellence
GMCF members Jill Viggiani and Douglas Farnham recently traveled to Chicago to compete in a Hyrox event as a mixed Doubles team. A Hyrox competition is an indoor fitness race that combines 8 kilometers of running with 8 functional workout stations, repeating in a loop. Participants must complete each 1 km run followed by a specific exercise, aiming for the fastest overall time. Out of 1179 total teams, they placed 470. In their 45-49 age group, they placed 22 of 72 teams with a time of 1:21:41. Their best events were skiing, rowing, and burpees. They are already looking for their next race and planning how to improve sandbag lunges and sled push/pull. Congratulations Jill and Douglas!
