Gandy, 21, finished in 1 hour, 3 minutes, 19.3 seconds, just six-tenths of a second ahead of Luis Meija, 51, of Bogota, Colombia, as skaters rolled down Harbor Drive between the William A. Irvin ore boat and the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.

Kramer, 21, finished in 1:13:01.8, only four-tenths of a second ahead of runner-up Julie Glass, 33, of Fountain Hills, Ariz.
