Teen Titans Claim Mount Marathon Titles | Anchorage News

Fifteen-year-old Thale Randall stunned the crowd by winning the junior boys title at the 98th Mount Marathon Race, clawing back from a late deficit to cross the line in 27:28 — a dream come true after three years of chasing the win. Meanwhile, 14-year-old Wren Spangler, standing just 4’9” and weighing 90 pounds, captured her first junior girls title with a blistering 31:09, proving her grit in slick, rainy conditions. Both athletes, seasoned competitors with roots in Alaska’s rugged terrain, embody the spirit of the race — Spangler sprinting alongside boys’ rivals, Randall running his sled dogs 3,000 miles each winter — and together, they’re rewriting the story of what it means to conquer Mount Marathon.
