Sunday's Marine Corps Marathon sold out in record time (2 hours and 41 minutes), and yesterday broke its record for most participants, MCM officials said.
23,515 runners finished the Washington, D.C., marathon, with two soldiers taking the top honors. Medill News Service's Kelly Gustafson reports:
The Army swept the top finishers, with Spc. Augustus Maiyo flying across the finish line in 2:20:20.

Cpt. Kenny Foster was not far behind him at 2:22:31. Foster warmed up for Sunday's race with a sub-50-minute finish at the Army Ten-Miler on Oct. 21. Foster said he felt really strong until he hit the 25th mile, when he got a bad stomach cramp.
"But I looked behind me, about 800 meters to go and I could actually see somebody coming up on me, so I just sucked it up and finished the last 800 meters," Foster said.
