NAPA, Calif. — (March 3, 2013) — Kevin Pool of Folsom, Calif. didn’t plan on winning the 35th Kaiser Permanente Napa Valley Marathon.
He entered the 26.2-mile race through the scenic Napa Valley
wine-growing region as a training run in preparation for this coming
April’s Boston Marathon. On the other hand, San Francisco’s Michelle Meyer
set a goal of recording a fast time, and possibly a women’s win, at
Napa. Both Pool and Meyer emerged victorious in close contests and
were crowned Road Runners Club of America national marathon champions.
The marathon served as Road Runners Club of America’s 2013 National Marathon Championship.
