Tre Le Grizz

Drew Coco won his third straight title at the historic 50-mile race in Polebridge; event a success under new ownership.
At approximately 10:12 a.m. on Saturday, Whitefish’s Drew Coco finished running a marathon.
He paused for a moment on the side of the North Fork Road, pulled off his long sleeve shirt and grabbed a hydration vest laden with gel packets and bottles of electrolyte mix that was hanging on the mirror of a friend’s car.
Clad now in a white singlet, black running shorts, arms sleeves and cap and a pair of Adidas racing shoes, Coco continued up the dirt road. He was just over halfway through his morning miles.
A few hours earlier, Coco and 65 other runners trudged around the sleepy hamlet of Polebridge in the predawn light, awaiting a shotgun blast to jolt them awake and signal the start of the 41st edition of the Le Grizz 50-mile ultramarathon.
