WENATCHEE — Portland’s Jonathan Sipling and Wenatchee’s Selina Danko captured top honors Saturday as the eighth-annual Wenatchee Marathon and Half-Marathon went off without a hitch under sunny skies.

Sipling easily won the men’s marathon in 2 hours, 39.45 minutes, beating second-place finisher Michael Berquist of Medical Lake by more than 12 minutes.

Danko came away with the women’s marathon title in a time of 3:15.53. Finishing second was Debbie Gibson in 3:22.10.

In the half-marathon, Rob Pritchett of Ellensburg came in first among the men in 1:16.47, and Leavenworth’s Marlene Farrell was tops among the women in 1:23.21.

In the 10K race, Ryan Freimuth, a former Wenatchee High School and WSU runner, won in 32.16. On the women’s side, Colleen Miller came in first in 42.10.

The annual event, the city’s largest race, begins and ends at the Performing Arts Center in downtown Wenatchee. Except for the first half-mile, the race is held on the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail along the Columbia River.
