Saline marathon runner Don Brown had a busy day Saturday.  He ran in two marathons in the same day.

While most of us were enjoying a lazy Saturday morning, by 8:00 a.m. Mr. Brown was on the starting line of the Bucs on the Run 5k.  This marathon was held in support of the Haughton High School and Middle School Cross Country Programs.  25 minutes and 9.22 seconds later, he completed the 5k race and won second place in the 60 and over age group.  Out of the 82 runners who competed, Mr. Brown came in 18th overall.  His pace was 8:05 per mile.  

Later that evening, Mr. Brown ran in the Atomic Two Miler night race in Monroe.  The night race began at 7:30 p.m.  15 minutes 56.07 seconds later, Mr. Brown crossed the finish line and won first place in his age group, Male 70 and over.  His pace was 7:58 per mile and speed was 7.5 miles per her.

Congratulations, Mr. Brown, on two wins in two marathons on the same day!!!
