The 37th Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon, Half-Marathon & 10k took over downtown Cleveland yesterday on a glorious spring morning ideal for running. Here are some photos from the announce platform at the finish line on Lakeside Avenue where some 20,000 runners came blasting by. Kenyans Philip Lagat and Sarah Kiptoo won the marathon titles. Lagat ran a near 3:00 PR in 2:12::39 to add the marathon to his 2010 Rite Aid Cleveland 10k win, while Kiptoo defended her 2013 marathon title in 2:34:58. Fellow Kenyans Julius Koskei (29:06) and Lilian Mariita (33:42) earned the 10K titles.
