Time Slot: 1:30 - Half Marathon
Name: Vasile Samartinean
Bio: I started running in 2012 as a way of honoring the memory of a friend who passed away much too soon and who was an avid runner. Qualified for the Boston Marathon 7 years in a row and participated in 4 out of the 7. I have run either the half or the full Mesa Marathon almost every year since its inception, but these days I'm doing more trail running than road running. I have set PRs in both distances in Mesa and would love to have the opportunity to help others achieve their racing goals.
