Bandelier Races
May 8, 2004

The 22nd annual running of the Bandelier Races took place this past Saturday, May 8, 2004, beginning with the 5:30 AM start of the 50-mile BB50 Ultra Marathon, the New Mexico State Championship Race at this distance. The 2004 NM State Ultra Marathon Masters Champion is Larry Cawthon, 57, of Rio Rancho. Cawthon was first in this event for the second straight year, completing the 50-mile course in 7:58:51, breaking the 8 hour mark in a time thirteen minutes faster than his performance last year. The Women's NM State Champion, Lisa Valaika, also marked her second straight victory in this event with a time of 9:52:34. Placing second overall and earning the title of Men's NM State Ultra Marathon Champion was Kris Kern of Santa Fe in a time of 8:36:41.

Miles Baron, 45, of Los Alamos won the Marathon for the third straight year in 2:53:25, and in the process beat all of the Marathon Relay Teams (8 persons running about 3.3 miles to complete the marathon distance) by almost 30 minutes. Baron's running seems only to improve with age as his time has dropped by almost ten minutes from his win in 2002. The Women's Marathon champion was Amy Regan of Los Alamos in a time of 3:40:49, placing sixth overall in the field of 23.

The weather was quite good for early May, starting at 42 F at the start of the Ultra Marathon at 5:30 AM and warming to 74 F by mid-afternoon. Cloud cover for a good portion of the day served to keep temperatures down. The use of Santa Clara Pueblo pottery awards, crafted by Birdell Bourdon and introduced last year to great success, was expanded this year to include the Ultra Marathon, the Marathon overall winners and top age group awards and the winning Marathon relay team, 'Cool Runnings' (3:26:44).
