For anybody to run a full marathon in under three hours and finish in the top one percent of racers is pretty impressive but to do it while wearing flip flops? That might just make the record book.

Dan Vassallo a Colby grad of Peabody, Mass., won the Maine Marathon in 2 hours, 21 minutes, 12 seconds. It broke the previous record he set in 2007. Robert Gomez of Saco came in second, Moninda Marube of Auburn placed third.
