The inaugural Waterloo Reâ€" gion 50 mile ultramarathon on Sunday turned out to be a memorable one with the setting of a new Canadian masters reâ€" Terry Martin of Barrie, in his first year as a master at the age of 40, ran the fourâ€"lap, 50 mile course in five hours, 48 minutes and 32 seconds. Norm Patenaude of Massey, Ont., near Espanola, had set the previous record of 6:07.49 a year ago. Patenaude attended the event as a spectator and could only stand and watch as Martin came to the startâ€"finish line at the Laurel Conservation Area to take more than 19 minutes off his Only 12 runners competed in the race which began at 5:30 a.m., down from the 20 or 25 expected by race director Wayne Witt of the Waterloo County Amateur Athletic Association. But all 12 runners finished the race within the 10â€"hour time limit. Rob Apple, 25, of Ohio was second in 6:35.5, well ahead of third place finisher Jim Maganas of Michigan.
