out gatewinnerClose to 175 people tackled the inaugural Gateway to the Smokies Half Marathon in Waynesville this weekend, coming from as far as Colorado and as close as Waynesville itself.

But the top three finishers were all local. Coming in on top for the 13.1-mile race were:

• Kevin Fitzgerald, Waynesville, 1:21:53.8

• Damon Lubinski, Waynesville, 1:25:42.9

• Sarah Beth Lee, Waynesville, 1:28:44.5 

Times ranged from Fitzgerald’s 1:21:53.8, a 6:15-minute mile, to just under four hours, an 18-minute mile. The race was sponsored by the Haywood County Chamber of Commerce. For results, go to www.finishlinepros.com/calendar2015.html#bookmark5.
