Chilean Miner Finshes NYC Marathon!

Chilean miner Edison Pena ran the first half of the New York City Marathon in two hours and seven minutes, until knee pain and exhaustion forced him to walk for 10 miles. He slapped on two ice packs at a first-aid station and got treated for cramps at a medical tent in the 18th mile, but he kept on going, and finished the marathon in 5 hours, 40 minutes and 51seconds!

“The Wonder of You” by his favorite artist Elvis blared out of the speakers as he crossed the finish line.

Retired Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer was the very last runner to start the race but finished in an impressive 4:13. For every person he passed in the race, Timex will donate $1 to the New York Road
Runners youth fitness program.
