Why run a marathon? Here’s one reason.
Team Hoyt Coeur d’Alene, which pairs differently-abled athletes with running partners through racing wheelchairs, entered several teams in this year’s Marathon races.

Lindsay Lange of Chewelah, Wash., was the top female finisher in 1:32:27.
Officials were still trying to sort out the actual order of finish in the 5k and 10k races, as an issue with some runners heading off course messed up the timing of the races. Officials said results of those races would be updated when all was sorted out.
