Brevard County women made a statement about the quality of running on the Space Coast, sweeping titles in the Marathon Bahamas full and half-marathons on Sunday.
Indialantic’s Angela Cobb, 28, won the full marathon in 3 hours and 17 seconds, and Satellite Beach’s Jessica Crate, 26, won the half in 1:21:47.
The victory was the first for Cobb in her fifth marathon. As for Crate, who has been a dominant woman among Brevard County runners, the title was another in an increasing rate of success.
The finish didn’t come easy.
“I hadn’t really run a marathon in about six years,” said Cobb, a server at Long Doggers in Indialantic. “Previously, I had run to just basically finish the marathon, but now I’m actually running to win so I’m racing a marathon which is a completely different feel.
