Bauman's Running and Walking Shop has been a fixture in the Genesee County area for 48 years. Ahead of his retirement, Bauman found a perfect way to acknowledge those long-time employees that have stuck by him.

RUN MARK RUN!

And she wasn't the only Michigander making history with yesterday's run in the rain.

Mark Bauman, owner of Bauman's Running & Walking Shop in Flint, ran and finished his 47th consecutive Boston Marathon yesterday.

Temperatures at the 116th running of the Boston Marathon reached the mid 80's today, and made for tough going for everybody. Flushing's Mark Bauman, 62, finished his 43rd consecutive Boston Marathon in a time of 6:27:18. It was by far his slowest time, but even the Kenyan runners were slowed by the heat.

Richard Nixon was still President when Mark Bauman ran his first Boston Marathon. The 62-year old from Flushing will toe the starting line in Hopkinton, Massachusetts for the 43rd time on Monday, April 16th. Bauman ran his first Boston marathon in 1970 as a 20-year old college student.
