Lonnie completed the eleven mile course in one hour and forty minutes with Esko and his broken ski only three minutes behind. The first woman to cross the finish Tine was a very relaxed Cynthia Larson of Nipigon. The mainstay of the Challenge was the spirit of good will and co-operation amongst all involved. There was Lonnie Connely's show of sportsmanship in saluting the courage of fellow skier Esko Tohkanen, while Norm Norris's children and several older women proved that nothing is impossible. . Afterwards a supper prepared by the Chimo Club was held in the Schreiber High School. Lonnie and Cynthia were presented with framed 16 x 20 colour prints depicting scenes of Lake Superior. All participants were awarded T-shirts embrazened with the Voyageur Trail logo, which they will wear with a well earned sense of pride. A slide show entitled "North Superior Hiking Train" followed the presentations Esko Tohkanen summed up his feelings towards the marathon very simply, "They don't make *-ails like this in Finland".
