LUBEC, Maine (AP) _ Two runners from central Maine have won the Bay of Fundy International Marathon.
 
    Ron Peck of Waterville and Lydia Kouletsis of Oakland won the Sunday marathon in Lubec. Peck, a biology professor at Colby College, finished in 3:02:10. Kouletsis, a pharmacy student at University of New England, finished in 3:24:03. Organizers say the race attracted 220 starters.
 
    Thirty-eight-year-old Peck took the lead at 22 miles from eventual runner-up Andrew Fudge of South Weymouth, Massachusetts. Twenty-two-year-old Kouletsis was running in her first marathon.
