SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Thousands of runners, joggers and walkers all came together to run the inaugural San Antonio Marathon<\/a> on Sunday. <\/p>\n

The marathon and half-marathon began at 7:15 a.m. at Main Plaza and finished at Hemisfair, attracting a sold-out crowd of more than 18,000 participants.<\/p>\n

From elite athletes to first-time marathoners, the event showcased a wide range of runners embracing the challenge. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m feeling great, and it was amazing. This was my first half marathon and I got to do it with my son, Hudson,\u201d Rachel, Scott and Hudson Whadsworth said. <\/p>\n

Families and fans also lined up along the sidelines with their homemade signs and early morning energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the people around me that kept pushing me forward and all the fans that showed up to support their family members,\u201d Alex Rodriguez said. \u201cThat\u2019s what pushed me through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the marathon, Colin Mickow took the overall men\u2019s side win with a time of 2:22:25, while Mina Glenesk was the first woman in the marathon to cross the finish line with a time of 2:53:45.<\/p>\n

On the half-marathon side, adaptive runner Kohen Grantom came in first with a time of 53:34. Therese Olshanski came in first for the women\u2019s side in the half-marathon with a time of 1:17:08.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s the victory lap for everybody because we trained so hard, waking up at 4 a.m. and just being out there. And giving up your Saturdays to just train and be ready,\u201d SA Running Chicas said. <\/p>\n
