A San Diego man won the 19th annual OC Marathon in a record time of 2:18:06.
Steven Martinez earned a $2,500 bonus for breaking the old course record of 2:22:45 set in 2011.
"The number of participants is returning to pre-COVID days,'' said Gary Kutscher, the race director for the festival, which also included a half-marathon Sunday and a 5K and kids' mile run that were held Saturday. "After three years of pandemic restrictions folks are finally comfortable being out there together. They are ready to get out there and run in large groups and have a lot of fun,'' he said. "Our whole theme this year is 'Let's run together,' and I think that is truly what is happening.''
