According to a 2008 Fireweed 400 report in the Anchorage Daily News, Ben Popp of St. Paul, Minnesota won. His time was 22:28:42. My time in 2003 was 22:09:42 but weather and course conditions make it difficult to compare times.
Long time endurance althlete Rocky Reifenstuhl was 2nd with a time of 24:46:27. He was last year’s winner. Reifenstuhl led for most this race before being passed by Popp after Glenallen.
The amazing thing is Reifenstuhl was hit by a lumber truck a week ago. He was struggling just to walk. He considered not doing the race but he said he doesn’t like to pull out of races.
