At 6:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, 500 runners finished loading the last morsels of carbs into their bellies and lined up in the plaza at Newpark for the start of the Park City Marathon. At 6:45, 700 more hit the pavement for the half marathon, an equally scenic but slightly less grueling endeavor.

Throughout the morning, the 1,200 runners from 42 states and several Canadian provinces traversed Park City's bike paths and trails, completing a combined 22,100 miles.

The youngest runner, 11-year-old Pete Benda from Sandy, Utah, finished the half marathon in just under two hours and 20 minutes, placing second in the 14-and-under age division. The oldest runner, 74-year-old Lavone Pyle from Murray, Utah, ran the half marathon in three hours and 26 minutes.

The winning time was one hour and 16 minutes for the 13-mile half marathon (Nathan Hornok of Salt Lake City) and two hours 48 minutes for the 26-mile marathon (Dave Spence of Salt Lake City).
