Total number signed up for marathon: 2847
Total number that finished marathon (within 5:30 time limit):2238
(1916 men and 322 women)
Total that did not finish (DNF) within the time limit (or at all):
609
Note that the marathon had a 5:30 time limit, after this time limit
the clock was shut off. It is still possible that some of the 609
participants did in fact finish, it was just not recorded.
The local newspapers were reporting that no new records were set
this year due to the high humidity factor. I'll go along with that.
