When we recently were in touch with Tom Mills who was at the finish line when the first runners came through, he remembered distinctly that Ean Jackson and John McGrath came in together with a time of 3 hours 59 minutes, and 20 seconds. That is the first sub-four hour result for the Marathon Shuffle, and a record that still stands. Doug Hudson came in third, and was the first Powell River runner to reach the finish line.
