Fisher finished in 3 hours and 56 minutes while Brace completed the course in four hours even.
It was a cold, rainy, and windy day on the course. As a result, many runners crossed the line in slower than anticipated times.
"It was very tough. Anyone who crosses the finish line today has a lot to be proud of, because it's not easy out there," Fisher said.
