Twenty-one miles into the 32nd Marine Corps Marathon, Ruben Garcia appeared in good position to win his third straight title. But from the start, Garcia hadn't been able to shake Tamrat Ayalew, and he realized before anyone else that his title run was about to end.

For Active.com
I’ve never really understood the attraction of the so-called “mega” marathons, those 26-mile moving masses of humanity that snake through city streets. Sure, there’ a lot of energy and excitement, but when you get to the running part, where is the fun? Waiting for hours before the start? Standing in a long line for a porta-john? Battling your way to the start and then wiggling around dozens of runners every time you try to pick up the pace? Negotiating a forest of arms and legs just to get a drink at an aid station?
