Globetrotter stars at US marathon

The Bexhill-based athlete, a veteran of international marathons in such places as Berlin, Sydney, New York, London, Paris and Boston, finished a splendid 96th from a nigh on 17,000 entry in the Washington Marine Corps Marathon on October 31.

Haas, a founder member of Bexhill Runners, covered the "not exactly flat and fast" course in a minute under the three hour barrier in unseasonably warm conditions where the temperature was around 25 degrees.
