1993
RECORD SPEED fOR THE 1)TH MARMORA CUP he cold weather in 1993 did not deter the crowds from attending the 15th Marmora Sled Dog Races. For the third year in a row, Tim McEwen of Eldorado (22 years old) won the Marmora Cup, but this time with record breaking speed - 13 hours, 6 minutes and 22 seconds. Including the four hour mandatory layover, all of the 13 long distance mushers spent 17 or more hours on the trail in temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees. Over an hour behind Tim was Andre Nadeau, a new competitor in Marmora, who, for the next three years would remain a close challenger, until he came first in 1997. The 60 Mile ShurGain Classic trophy was taken home by an American, Larry Brunzlick from Bryant Wisconsin. Of the twenty-six competitors in the race, Peter Francoeur, of Greely, Ontario came second, beating Bruce Langmaid by only 16 seconds! Voted by the other mushers to be the most sportsmanlike driver, Ian MacKenzie of Bruce Mines, Ontario, was awarded the Grant Airhart Memorial Trophy. It was pointed out by Al Moorcroft that he deserved the award because he stopped to help out two other mushers (including Al) who had troubles on the trail.
