Nearly 1,400 runners crossed the finish line in Saturday’s Race to the Runway Buckeye Marathon on a downhill racecourse that for marathon participants began in Verrado and ended at the Buckeye Municipal Airport.
Several events allowed runners to compete in a full marathon, half marathon, 10K or 5K run, as well as a one mile fun run.
The full marathon, 26.2 miles, was a qualifying event for the Boston Marathon, which means runners who finished the course in under about 3 hours, depending on age and gender, may qualify to run in the Boston Marathon in April.
Organizers said this year’s event had the largest turnout in the race’s 12-year history.
The top overall finisher, Matthew Horan, 33, finished the marathon in 2 hours and 33 minutes.
Shanda Demorest, was the first-place female finisher with a time of 3 hours, 15 minutes.
