Marshall University Marathon
WEST VIRGINIA...
Marshall University expects a record number of participants for its seventh annual marathon.
The Marshall University Marathon will be held Sunday in Huntington. Race director Tom Dannals says more than 1,400 walkers and runners are entered from about 40 states.
Last year, 1,100 people entered the various races, which include a marathon, half marathon, a half-marathon relay and a five-mile walk.
This year's event includes an armed forces division, which has drawn 75 entries so far.
The marathon will finish at the end zone of Marshall's football stadium. Runners will be allowed the option of carrying a football over the final 100 yards.
Entries are being accepted through Saturday.
