Marathon Monday is finally here, but this one was bound to be different than recent memory. Typically, runners and spectators are getting with the sunshine and warmth of a spring day. Not this year though. With temperatures in the low 40s, driving rain, and wind, today looked very challenging for the runners. The crowds showed up at their usual spots, albeit a bit less in number, but still equally ready to get soaked and cheer on the competitors. There were some great races and lead changes in the last few miles of the course.
Des Linden (USA) won the women's race and Yuki Kawauchi (Japan) won the men's.
