Washington's Birthday Marathon

Human Interest Story

Tom Brown who has run marathons for the past twenty years plans to race his fiftieth and last marathon at the 2008 Washington Birthday Marathon.  Havng run prestigious, larger marathons such as Boston and New York, Brown likes smaller forty to fifty participant races such as the relatively obscure Bagel2Beer Marathon in Columbia.  Brown, a teacher at heart, started to notice in the mid-1990s that running wasn't as rewarding as taking someone else to the finish line.
