After leading the USA Olympic Team Trials - Men’s Marathon on Nov. 3, in New York City for the first five kilometers, marathoner Michael Wardian was back on the roads again, winning yesterday’s OBX Marathon in North Carolina in 2:24:16.

This was nothing unusual for the 33 year-old athlete from Arlington, Va., who has completed 13 marathons this year, five of them sub-2:30. In both March and April he ran two marathons just six days apart. He’s won four marathons this year.

At the Trials, Wardian was the race’s early leader, running alone through 5 km (16:20). He faded to finish 92nd in 2:30:54, running halves of 1:09:26 and 1:21:28.

The buzz is beginning to begin in the Washington, DC metropolitan area about an upcoming athletic event - the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM). As someone who resides in the area, I frequently see competitive runners and athletes out on the streets of DC, many lining trails along the Potomac as they train for the big upcoming event.

The Marine Corps Marathon will begin at 7:50 a.m. on Sunday, October 28, starting with the wheelchair and hand cycle participants. Runners will start at 8:00 a.m. and the MCM10K will kick off at 8:20 a.m.
