SEWARD, Alaska — More than 20 searchers and an Alaska Air National Guard helicopter spent much of Thursday hunting for a 66-year-old man who vanished while participating in the grueling Mount Marathon race in Seward.
Race officials last saw Michael LeMaitre at roughly 6 p.m. Wednesday, about 200 yards from the mountaintop, said Alaska State Troopers Capt. Andy Greenstreet. That was three hours into the 3-mile race.
LeMaitre has not been seen since. As the search continued Thursday night, he had been missing more than 24 hours.
A grandfather of two with another grandchild on the way, LeMaitre is a longtime Alaskan who savors a challenge but had never climbed the 3,022-foot mountain, said his son, Jon LeMaitre.
