Yesterday morning, 30,714 runners and walkers participated in the Music City Marathon in Nashville. Of those, 5,652 ran the full marathon, while the remaining 25,000+ did the half marathon. The runners started the race in "corrals," meaning they were grouped with other runners and all members of a particular corral started at the same time. There were 32 corrals, and the last ones started the race over an hour after the elite runners (in the first corral) began. The winner of the half marathon ran it in just over one hour, and the winners of the marathon ran the race in 2 hours 14 minutes (men) and 2 hours 30 minutes (women).
