Borough son Constantin Schreiber won this year’s Icebreaker International Marathon and Half Marathon, held on Jan. 28 at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, on the other end of our island.
He finished the marathon distance — 26.2 miles — in just under three hours, with a final time of two hours, 59 minutes and 50 seconds.
The Icebreaker International is held as the North American venue for Marathon Adventures’ “Triple 7 Quest,” involving seven marathons or seven half marathons on seven continents in seven days.
This “no frills” distance race offers runners a fast and flat course, is held during a season when not many are offered and unlike most races, offers no finishers’ shirts, age group awards, raffles, or other common racing amenities. Forgoing the extras, runners have an affordable race entry and are still treated to finishers’ medals, aid stations, and post-race food and drink.
Standing O says “Congratulations Constantin for breaking the Ice!”
