After Joe Ninke dropped on the second day there was a pretty good chance that possibly the most experienced multiday runner on the course, Don Winkley, would hang on to the lead position in the Last Annual Vol-State Endurance Run until Castle Rock in Georgia. Don finished the Sri Chinmoy 1000 mile race, ran 200 miles in 48 hours, finished Spartathlon, Comrades, every edition of the 1100 km Transe Gaule and has an abundance of willpower and determination.
At the age of 73 Don Winkley has been crowned King of The Road after finishing the 314 mile Vol-State race just seven hours ahead of Mike Matteson after battling high temperatures in this gruelling masterpiece created by Race Director Gary Cantrell.
Congratulations to all the participants and to the Race team.
