HARTFORD, Conn. — At age 99, Marion “Mic” Roberts completed her first road race.
That was last September, at the Haddam Neck Fair 5K. She finished the 3.1-mile race in 56 minutes.
Sunday morning, she was back on the starting line, a week after celebrating her 100th birthday on Aug. 28. She finished the 5K — walking with her son Chuck Roberts and daughter-in-law Donna Roberts, listening to a little Frank Sinatra — in 1 hour, 31 seconds.
