Janet Cherobon of Kenya dominated the women's field, finishing first in 2:42:38. Cherobon ran course record en route to the discoloration in the final two kilometers. Gina Slaby was second in 2:46:57 and Erin Moffett was third in 2:50:37.
The 26.2 mile race was run through the center of Washington and parts of Northern Virginia residents amid increased security, since an unknown gunman fired on U.S. military sites four times in recent weeks, including the Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, about two times.
Ronald Kurui, also of Kenya, was second in the men's division in 2:23:41, despite tripping and scraping his knee and elbow in the race.
Sean Barrett, First Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps, was third in 2:24:08. Barrett, who is scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan in two months, ran his first marathon.
"The use of the Marine Corps t-shirt in this race is a great honor," said Barrett. "People become very supportive, but that also means you can not disappoint them."
Defending champion John Mentzer, ranked fourth in 2:27:01.
