Grandma's Marathon

Yesterday we watched parts of Grandma's Marathon from several viewing points.
Runners raced out of the starting gates Saturday morning for the 34th annual Grandma’s Marathon.
There were about 7,400 entries with runners coming from all over the world, including those from South Korea, Ireland, Qatar, Pakistan and Switzerland.
Philemon Kemboi of Kenya won in 2 hours, 15 minutes, 44 seconds, while Buzenush Deba of Ethiopia finished with a personal-best time of 2:31:35 in the women's event.
Kenyans also won the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon. Stephen Muange finished in 1:04:24 seconds. Muange lives and trains in Farmington, N.M. In the women's half marathon, Caroline Rotich won in 1:12:40. She lives in Santa Fe, N.M.
