Human Interest Story

Greg Simpson crossed the line first in the Montana Marathon just over 24 hours after finishing a marathon in Bismark, North Dakota on Saturday. He did not win as he started the race 2 hours early to make his flight back to New Jersey on time.  The winner of the overall marathon was Tim Phillips of Glasgow.
