NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—It took five years for 29-year-old Megan McGrath to finally get picked in a lottery to be able to participate in Saturday’s oldest and most prestigious 100-mile trail race in the world: The Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run.
But it was all worth it for McGrath, a New Brunswick resident who traveled to California for the race, and crossed the finish line early yesterday morning after 22 hours, 23 minutes, and 20 seconds.
