NEW YORK —
More than 61,000 people spent their Halloween weekend hitting the pavement in the New York City Marathon.
The extra hour of sleep that came with the end of Daylight-Saving Time helped fuel these runners. The winner overall was Andreas Almgren, who finished the race in two hours and six minutes.
More than 300 Marylanders took part in the marathon this year. The fastest finish went to 28-year-old Samuel Sheldon who crossed the finish line in two hours and 33 minutes. While the fastest woman from Maryland wasn’t too far behind as 25-year-old Emily Konkus of parks finished in just under two hours and 50 minutes.
